Beginning in SAS^® 9.2, FILENAME SFTP is supported on UNIX and Windows systems. Although it is not supported on z/OS, FILENAME SFTP might randomly execute successfully. You can use the following alternative code for executing SFTP from a SAS session on z/OS:

Requirements:

• must be able to SFTP outside of SAS
• must have SSH key pairs set up

1. Use PROC <standalone program>;     /* only available on z/OS */
    PROC SFTP;  RUN:
      /* will need to allocate any required files to execute SFTP outside of SAS */

2. FILENAME PIPE

You can write out the commands for the batch file (sshbatch.txt) by following the logic in SAS Note 61368, "You can use the FILENAME PIPE access method as an alternative way of executing SFTP."
