- Is there anyone out there who can help me with a pretty basic
- question about using SAS on Unix?
-
- I know that there are various ways to run SAS... There's the cool
- display mode, in which the screen is split into 3 sections (input,
- output, and log), there's the collect mode, in which you get a "?"
- prompt, type in the program and then hit whatever key represents
- "eof".
-
- What I'd like to do, though, is to just do something like "sas <
- filename", but that doesn't seem to be working for me. I also tried
- creating an executable file that looked like:
-
- sas '
- data data.set.name;
- infile input.file.name;
-
- blah blah blah...
- '
-
- But for some reason I was getting messages that my input file could
- not be found. Didn't make any sense to me.
-
- Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?
-
- Anybody know of another newsgroup that would be more helpful (one that
- has something to do with SAS)?
-
- Any help would be greatly appreciated. With winter break coming up,
- support around this university will be pretty scarce.
-
- Please respond via email. I need a fairly quick reply, and so I don't
- have time to peruse comp.unix.misc.
-
- Thanks much.
- Gary
