Randy, thanks for help. This looks good. This makes me able to
compile in batch mode from the Unix prompt. This works under Unix as well.

But do I have to include the scl file manually via the
SAS SCL editor? Is there any way to assign an external scl file as
input to the PROC BUILD compiling ?

Say I have a scl program stored as
/my/unix/catalog/tree/mySCL.scl
and I am editing this file in any SAS-external edtior, say Emacs.

Could I tell PROC BUILD this in any way?
