Starting a script from SAS on the mainframe.

[Anthony Smith]

Is this possible? I am using mainframe SAS and wanted to know if there
was a way where I could call a script on a Unix or Linux server. Maybe
connect via SSH and issue a command?

[Gerhard Hellriegel]

Is SAS/Connect available?

Is this a one time task or would you want to run this script
regulary?

If the latter, then you might consider setting up a script on the
*ix side which is run periodically by cron that checks for the
existence of a trigger file.

In this scenario all the mainframe had to do, was to create (e.g.
by using ftp) the trigger file on the *ix machine.

Just an idea

Hi,

if SAS/Connect is available, you can subit anything you want.

rsubmit;
data _null_;
command= "command you want to execute";
call system(command);
run;
endrsubmit;

The "command" is running in the context of the remote user, used to sign on to the remote server.

Best Regards,
Daniel Schulte
