Brad asks
"Is there a way to tell SAS to do
these only when I'm running in interactive mode?"

I recommend using a different autoexec for batch and interactive mode

But if you want to do it the hard way, consider
&sysenv
defined as clarifying batch or foreground, it always seems to be FORE
Consider system option -sysin
Expect it to be empty for a display manager session (I think).
Consider the explanations of system option DMR
It always seems to be NODMR in batch
Once you are confident in some signal of "batch"/"interactive"
you have something to test

..... I think it is easier to use a custom autoexec for
        interactive work
     The uncertainty is resolved before sas starts

Betreff:       Re: Autoexec
Nachrichtentext:

I have found an issue with these fixes.  I have added to my autoexec.sas
file the following:

dm 'odsresults' cancel;
dm 'explorer';
dm 'listing off';

Now when I run things in batch mode, it is trying to open windows and
producing all kinds of strange things.  Is there a way to tell SAS to do
these only when I'm running in interactive mode?

Brad
