-SYSIN filename | -NOSYSIN
|
- -SYSIN filename
-
specifies an external file. The value for filename must be a valid UNIX filename.
- -NOSYSIN
-
invokes SAS, processes the autoexec file, and then terminates
SAS, returning you to the command prompt.
This option applies only when you are
using batch mode. It is not necessary to precede the filename with the SYSIN
option if the filename immediately follows the keyword SAS. For example, the following two SAS commands are equivalent:
sas saspgms/report1.sas
sas -sysin saspgms/report1.sas
The syntax of the SYSIN system option also enables you to specify NOSYSIN.
If you specify NOSYSIN, SAS is invoked, the autoexec file is processed, and
then SAS terminates, returning you to the command prompt. The following example
shows the syntax:
sas -nosysin -autoexec mysas.sas
This option is useful if you want to test an autoexec file without actually
running a complete SAS
session.
