SAS/CONNECT User's Guide

Version 8 Autosignon

[IMAGE] Starting in Version 8, if an RSUBMIT command or statement is executed and no connection currently exists, RSUBMIT automatically executes a SIGNON and uses any global settings of SAS/CONNECT options. RSUBMIT connection options are also executed to establish a connection to the remote SAS session and then to execute the RSUBMIT. Therefore, all of the valid SIGNON options are now valid for RSUBMIT. In addition, the default action is to automatically sign off at the end of the RSUBMIT.

Autosignon introduces the PERSIST= option in the RSUBMIT statement:

PERSIST = YES|NO: specifies whether a signoff is automatically performed from the remote session on the local host after the RSUBMIT has completed. RSUBMIT provides complete control over a remote session's termination.
