| SAS Companion for the CMS Environment |
A
set of sample execs is provided with SAS to show how the SAS
interface to REXX can be used to improve productivity by integrating CMS commands
such as FILELIST. Each of the following sample SASMACROs issues the corresponding
CMS command:
| DIRLIST SASMACRO |
| FILELIST SASMACRO |
| MACLIST
SASMACRO |
| RDRLIST SASMACRO |
| XEDIT SASMACRO |
Like other SASMACROs, these
commands can be issued as
SAS statements without the prefix of X or CMS. To issue autocall macros as
SAS statements, specify the SAS system option MAUTOSOURCE. To invoke SASMACROs
from the windowing environment command line, see Invoking a SASMACRO from the Windowing Environment Command Line.
In addition, you can issue commands from within CMS applications to
interact directly with the SAS session.
While any of the preceding SASMACROs are active, the following special
commands are supported from within CMS applications:
-
DM <command>
- is used on an XEDIT command line or an xxxLIST command line to switch the mode to the SAS windowing environment
in a SAS subset and to execute a command. For example, DM KEYS switches to
the KEYS window.
When you submit the CMSRETURN statement, control returns
to the XEDIT session or to the xxxLIST menu. This command is
implemented by the SAS$DM exec.
-
INCLUDE
- is used on a FILELIST file line to include
the specified FILELIST file into the Program Editor window. Control returns
to the FILELIST menu. This command is implemented by the SAS$INCL exec.
-
PGM
- is used on an XEDIT command line or an xxx LIST command line to switch the mode to the Program Editor window
as a SAS subset. When you submit the CMSRETURN statement, control returns
to the XEDIT session or to the xxxLIST menu. This command is
implemented by the SAS$PGM exec.
-
SUBMIT
- is used on an XEDIT command line or a FILELIST
file line to submit to SAS the current XEDIT file or specified FILELIST file.
Control returns to the XEDIT session or to the FILELIST menu. This command
is implemented by the SAS$SUB exec.
