SAS

Location

SAS is installed in /apps/sas/sas9.1

Commands

SAS has a number of options:

• -work /location : This is the location of your work area. It is needed if it is not defined in your SAS initialization files.
• -nodms : This stops SAS from using its GUI capability and goes into a text only mode.
• -filelocks none : This causes SAS to not use filelocking.

Possible Errors

• If the following error appears:

ERROR: A lock is not available for #C00002.CORE.CATALOG, lock held by another 
       process.
FATAL: Unable to initialize the options subsystem.
ERROR:   (SASXKINI): PHASE 3 KERNEL INITIALIZATION FAILED.
UNABLE TO INITIALIZE THE SAS KERNEL

You will need to use the -filelocks none option as described above when starting SAS.

ERROR: Library WORK does not exist.
FATAL: Unable to initialize the options subsystem.
ERROR:   (SASXKINI): PHASE 3 KERNEL INITIALIZATION FAILED.
UNABLE TO INITIALIZE THE SAS KERNEL

You need to designate where your work area is with the -work LOCATION directive.

You apparently do not have X11 access to the node, and you will have to use it through a console mode using the -nodms directive.

• If this is the case and you want X11 access to the node, connecting to the node with ssh -X should fix the problem for you.
