SAS Companion for the CMS Environment

Invoking a SASMACRO from the Windowing Environment Command Line

If you want to invoke SASMACROs directly from a command line:

Specify the CMDMAC SAS system option.
Include a command macro such as the following in an autoexec file:

          %macro FILELIST/cmd parmbuff;
             pgm;
             submit "FILELIST &syspbuff;"
          %mend;

You can then, for example, issue the following from the command line:

FILELIST * SAS A

Then, in the prefix area of the FILELIST screen, in front of a SAS program that you want to run, you can issue

SUBMIT /

This integration of the CMS commands with the SAS windowing environment enhances the usability of SAS under CMS.
