From: Tom Abernathy on 11 Feb 2010 17:06 Don't you have anything in your TRACE before it gets to the point of trying to start SAS? Didn't it prompt you for your username and password? Did you type the exact same command to start SAS that the script is using? It won't really work to start a SAS session, but if you try it and you do not see the string that the script is waiting for then you know why the script doesn't work.

From: Norman Weston on 12 Feb 2010 12:17 I get no issues up to the point where it asks for User ID and password. SAS had us change something that was supposed to fix the problem but still no joy. Something about forwarding Port IDs. Now I am working with the Unix admins here but have little hope. Any other suggestions?

Dear SAS-L-ers, Two Friday's ago, Norman Weston posted the following final dispatch concerning an issue he had with SAS/CONNECT on his UNIX server: > -----Original Message----- > From: SAS(r) Discussion [mailto:SAS-L(a)LISTSERV.UGA.EDU] On Behalf Of > Norman Weston > Sent: Friday, February 12, 2010 12:18 PM > To: SAS-L(a)LISTSERV.UGA.EDU > Subject: Re: SAS Connect issue. > > I get no issues up to the point where it asks for User ID and password. > SAS > had us change something that was supposed to fix the problem but still > no > joy.

Norman, this was an intriguing issue, and a number of SAS-L-ers chimed in to give you a hand. So, I would bet that I am not the only 'L-er who is still curious about the outcome. How did this eventually pan out? Are you still having the problem, or did you (or the "Unix admins") figure it out? If it was solved, what was the underlying cause? Here's hoping for some good news! Best of luck in all your SAS endeavors! I hope that this suggestion proves helpful now, and in the future!
