Automatic Invocation of SAS/LAB Software

If you would like SAS/LAB software to come up automatically when you give your SAS command, you can set up a SAS autoexec file to make this happen. Place the following line in your autoexec file:

dm 'lab;' lab;

With this line in place, SAS/LAB software should come up automatically when you give your SAS command.

If you would like to bring up SAS/LAB software automatically without seeing other SAS display manager windows (the LOG window, the PROGRAM EDITOR window, and the OUTPUT window), replace the line above with the following:

dm 'log off; lst off; lab; pgm off;' lab;

With this line in place, SAS/LAB software should come up automatically when you give your SAS command, and other SAS display manager windows should be hidden.
