Hi Gehard ,

1. I tested several commmands ('ls, grep, ...') the result is always the
same.
2. the command correctly executed .

>>>> MORE INFORMATIONS ===============================

I run the following data step on my machine.

                            dated _nul _;
                                   call system(' ls -1 > ls.txt');
                           run;

On the terminal,  I receive this  msg error
  << + Suspended (tty output)  >>

 (- - > the SAS session is completely blocked and awaits something... yes
but what)
