How to Run SAS

• SAS on Unixi, such as in hal.case.edu

  
  To run X window SAS, simply type
  
      sas &
  
  under a unix prompt.  To run batch SAS, type
  
      sas code.sas &
  
  where "code.sas" is  the filename of your sas code and 
  the output will be stored in "code.lst".  To run
  command-line SAS, type 
  
      sas -nodms
  
  at which point SAS is running and waiting for a  user to type SAS commands. When finished, type
  
     endsas;
  
  to get out SAS.
  
  
  The CSCAR guide to using SAS on unix and other plateforms  is an excellent resource 
  for Unix users.
