Hello Group,

I want to schedule the execution of a Macro xyz
which is already stored in a compile form in Lib .
inside macro name xyz there are 18 other macros all
compiled.

I just want to trigger the execution of my xyz macro
automatically daily at 8 p.m, any idea how to
go about it which system command I should Use.


Thanks

Sunny

Sunny,

If you are using Windows as your operating system there is always
Microsoft's scheduler.

In windows 2000

start>settings>control panel>scheduled tasks>schedule wizard>sas
9.2>daily>10:am>user name/passowrd>advance properties>
put the following in run dialog box
C:\Program Files\SAS\SAS 9.1\sas.exe" -nosplash -sysin c:\sas\pgm.sas -
log nul: -print nul:
put the following in start in box
c:\sas

You don't have to have a null log and list. I send an email with the
log and list when the program fails

In Unix

create a file called cronjob.txt with just the line below

0 2 * * 1-5 /groundtruth/programs/program.csh


mm hh dd mon day
run at 2am every monday-friday

here is what program.csh looks like
#!/usr/bin/csh
cd /groundtruth/sas/programs
/groundtruth/local/bin/sas mysasprogram


You can execute crontab if your name appears in the file /usr/lib/cron/
cron.allow

crontab -e Edit your crontab file, or create one if it doesn’t
already exist.
crontab -l Display your crontab file.
crontab -r Remove your crontab file.
crontab -v Display the last time you edited your crontab file.
