Did you know that in many types of Unix windows PROC EXPORT would hang and
the program must be terminated manually. I know that you can
you -noterminal option but surely SAS could easily rewrite PROC EXPORT so
this is unnecessary.

These usage notes relate to your complaint. It appears that SI does
not agree.

"These procedures were originally designed to be run only in interactive
mode, and therefore expect a calling terminal. The error occurs when they
are run in batch mode because the procedures attempt to display the SAS
Session Manager icon, which requires a valid X display. "

So you are saying that SAS, with thousands of employees, cannot change
something that was "originally" designed to be run only in interactive mode?
It took me a while to figure out what was causing the problem because SAS
just locks up and won't issue any error message.
