Run a SAS Program in Batch Mode

Runs a `.sas` file with the SAS executable, writing its log and listing to separate folders next to the program (created if needed).

Usage

run_sas_script(
  path,
  sas_path = find_sas(),
  log_dir = file.path(dirname(path), "logs"),
  list_dir = file.path(dirname(path), "list"),
  timeout = 0
)

Arguments

path

Path to the `.sas` program.

sas_path

Path to the SAS executable. Defaults to [find_sas()].

log_dir

Folder for the `.log` file. Defaults to `logs/` beside `path`.

list_dir

Folder for the `.lst` listing. Defaults to `list/` beside `path`.

timeout

Seconds SAS may run before it is stopped, or `0` (the default) for no limit. A run that is stopped is an error that names the log, which holds what SAS had written by then. Only the SAS process that was started is stopped.

Value

The exit status of the SAS process (0 on success, 1 for warnings, 2 for errors). A run that is stopped by `timeout` is an error.

} # }
