The following automatic macro variables have values that are specific
to Windows:
contains the current
SAS condition code that SAS returns to Windows when SAS exits. Upon
exit, SAS translates this condition code to a return code that has
a meaningful value for the operating environment.
Note: When ERRORCHECK=NORMAL, the
return code will be 0 even if an error exists in a LIBNAME or FILENAME
statement, or in a LOCK statement in
SAS/SHARE software. Also, the
SAS job or session will not end when the %INCLUDE statement fails
due to a nonexistent file. For more information, see the ERRORCHECK=
system option in the
SAS System Options: Reference
gives the name of the
current graphics device. The current graphics device is determined
by the DEVICE system option. Contact your on-site SAS support personnel
to determine which graphics devices are available at your site. For
information about the DEVICE system option, see
DEVICE System Option: Windows and
SAS System Options: Reference.
always contains the
value FORE under Windows.
returns a number that
uniquely identifies the SAS task under Windows.
returns the maximum
long integer value that is allowed under Windows, which is 2,147,483,647.
holds the Windows status
of Windows commands that are issued during your SAS session. The variable
holds a character string that is the text form of the decimal value
of the Windows command status.
For example, consider
the following statements:
options noxwait; x 'dirf';
/* Invalid Windows command */ %put This Windows status is &sysrc;
x 'dir'; /* Valid Windows command */ %put The corrected Windows status
is &sysrc;The following lines are written to the
SAS log:
This Windows status is 1 The corrected Windows
status is 1The OPTIONS statement
turns the XWAIT option off so that the Windows command prompt window
closes automatically. You do not have to type
exit to return to your SAS session. The value of “This Windows
status is” will be 1, and the value for “The corrected
Windows status is” will be 1. If you run this example with
the XWAIT option, you would need to type
exit before SAS would run the code. After you type
exit, a value of 9009 is returned for the statement “This Windows
status is”, and 0 is the value for “The corrected Windows
status is”. If you use the NOXSYNC system option, the value
of SYSRC is automatically 0.
returns the operating
environment abbreviation WIN.

the specific Windows environment that you are using. The possible
