Writing a SAS Program to Start a Server

Using the information that is presented in this chapter, you are ready to write a simple SAS program to start a server. You may set SAS options in either a configuration file that is processed during SAS invocation, or you can set the options explicitly in a server session. To enable communication between the server and clients on different host platforms, you must declare a communications access method. Also, you may choose to pre-define SAS data libraries to the server. Finally, you start the server and specify the options that you want.

The following example shows how to start a server on a UNIX host. Exact syntax varies according to host.

The following sample program starts a server: 

options comamid=tcp;
libname payable '/dept/acct/pay';
proc server id=share1 msgnumber;
