Subject:      SAS calling C

Dear SAS gurus:
 
I have been requested by some NICCOW's (Non Internet-Connected COWorkers)
to present this question to you.  [If this question has already been asked
and
answered on this forum, please forgive.  I don't follow the forum very
faithfully
and only seem to approach it when I have a problem.]
 
How do you invoke a C program from SAS?  We need to pass parameters from
SAS to C and then from C to SAS.  We're running on MVS and use the IBM C
compiler, not SAS/C.  To make matters worse, this particular application
is still in SAS version 5.18! (Don't flame me ... I'm only the messenger.
I've told this group a jillion times to upgrade their system to version 6,
but my warnings seem to fall on deaf ears.)
 
Please e-mail your suggestions, solutions, etc. to kpiper@ual.com
Thanks, in advance.
 
Kathy Piper
