SAS server (stats)

9.1
=== Author / Distributor ===
See http://www.sas.com/
=== Description ===
SAS is a Statistical software package.
 
=== Running Program ===
First you need to login to stats.rcc.uga.edu. You can run SAS on the command line with:
<pre class="gcommand">
sas program.sas
</pre>
where program.sas is the name of your SAS program. In general this will generate two output files called program.log and program.lst, with the results of your program.
 
If you have an X Window client or server running on your desktop and you configure your SSH client to allow tunneling of X11 connections, you can open a graphical front-end to SAS when you issue the command
<pre class="gcommand">
sas &
</pre>
If your program takes a while to complete and you would like to logout before your job is done, you should run it with the nohup command. For example, create a script file called e.g. runsas.sh as in the sample below:
 
Script filename (runsas.sh):
<pre class="gscript">
#!/bin/csh
cd working_directory
sas program.sas
</pre>
and run this script with
<pre class="gcommand">
chmod u+x runsas.sh
 
nohup ./runsas.sh &
</pre>
Then your program will not be killed when you logout.
 
=== Documentation ===
 
*The graphical front-end to SAS has a Help button which provides extensive documentation. Note that you will need to configure Firefox (on stats) to allow popups. This can be done by clicking on the SAS Help button and when Firefox opens, go to Edit -> Preferences -> Content and deselect "Block Popup Windows".
