SAS Companion for UNIX Environments

Using SAS in Interactive Line Mode

To start an interactive line mode session, invoke the SAS System with the NODMS or NODMSEXP system option:

sas -nodms
sas -nodmsexp

By default, SAS log and procedure output (if any) appear on your display as each step executes.

After you invoke the SAS System, the 1? prompt appears, and you can begin entering SAS statements. After you enter each statement, a line number prompt appears.

You can end the session by pressing the EOF key (usually CTRL+D; see Using Control Keys) or by issuing the ENDSAS statement:

endsas;
