There's also a "pipeline" mode for running SAS -- it reads from standard
input, sends the "list" to standard output, and "log" to standard error.

I'd commented on this in the past year on SAS-L.   Had set up a shell
script to invoke SAS as a pipeline, and found it very handy to pipe vi
buffer content through SAS.  Using the undo/redo features of vi it was
possible to do some fairly quick prototyping in a comfortable <g>
editing environment.
