Subject:      submit from file?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

As a result of updating to v. 6.12 TS060 - (IT dept. routine based on
Windows SYSDIFF utility) - I lost my own toolbox and am now trying to
restore the most needed buttons.

According to the following SAS help text:

SUBMIT
Submits an external file or a set of SAS statements  for SAS processing

 SUBMIT FILE='external-file' | 'sas-statements'

Description
Normal replacement string processing is not performed on code submitted
with the SUBMIT command.

Copyright (c) 1996, SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC 27513-2414 USA.  All
rights reserved.

it is possible to execute a SAS program from the command line.

Assuming test.sas resides in the default directory the following should
execute TEST.SAS:
submit file="test.sas"

I can't remember if this worked in the earlier version, but somehow I
can't get this to work at all in the current version/TS-level. Am I
doing something wrong or is it a bug perhaps?


Thanks for reading this and your advice.
