Batch mode works a lot like Display Manager does.  Either way, you
have to tell SAS at some point where your libnames point.  In batch
mode, you cannot run prior programs and have all that stuff held in
RAM, as you may be doing in DM.  So you need to put the libnames
at the top of your SAS program and then run it as a batch job.

You *can* let SAS pick up your autoexec.sas and config.sas , and
provide all the information in there.  Ron and Peter Crawford have both
written about this in SAS-L.  In fact, Ron is giving a half-day training
on issues like this one, at PNWSUG in just a few weeks.
