SCAPROC Procedure

Example 2: Specifying the Grid Job Generator

Details

This example writes information from the SAS Code Analyzer to the file named 1.txt. The example code also runs the Grid Job Generator, and writes that information to the file named 1.grid. Notice that this example does not have an ending statement that contains this code:

proc scaproc; 
   write; 
run;

When SAS terminates, PROC SCAPROC automatically runs any pending RECORD or GRID statements.

For the GRID statement to work, your site has to license SAS Grid Manager or SAS/CONNECT. SAS Grid Manager enables your generated grid job to run on a grid of distributed machines. SAS/CONNECT enables your generated grid job to run on parallel SAS sessions on one symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) machine.

Program

proc scaproc; 
   record '1.txt' grid '1.grid'; 
run;

data a; 
   do i = 1 to 100000; 
      j = cos(i); 
      output; 
   end;
run; 

proc print data=a(obs=25);
run;

proc means data=a;
run;
