From: Joe Matise on 28 Jan 2010 21:15 There is. I don't recall off the top of my head, but there is an automatic macro variable that is set when you are in batch. Either google about for it (or maybe look on the sascommunity.org site), or put the macro variables to the log in both sessions and look at the difference. I think it's %put _automatic_; to do that. -Joe On Thu, Jan 28, 2010 at 7:35 PM, Andrea Zimmerman <sassywench74va(a)gmail.com>wrote: > I've got some code that normally runs in batch at night, but occasionally I > run it in interactive PC SAS.

I collect meta data only when programs are run in batch. The meta data is not collected if the program is run interactively. The technique below seems prety robust. %if %sysfunc(getoption(SYSIN))= %then %let utlenv=FORE

This was perfect!
