sasjs run

The sasjs run command enables developers to submit SAS code for execution from the commandline.

Prerequisites

Before using this command, you will need to install the SASJS CLI and add a deployment target.

Syntax

sasjs run <sourcecode> [additional arguments]

Additional arguments may include:

  • --target (alias -t) - the target environment in which to deploy the services. If not specified, the first target will be used instead. The target can exist either in the local project configuration or in the global .sasjsrc file.

sasjs run

This will create a session and execute some SAS code. The log will be returned as a file in the current directory. The source file must have a ".sas" extension.

Syntax

sasjs run somecode.sas -t target

Usage

# create minimal SAS program
cat > ./somecode.sas <<'EOL'
  %put hello from SASjs;
EOL

# run the SAS code on the target
sasjs run somecode.sas -t myTarget

Roadmap

We plan to support the following:

  • keeping sessions alive
  • directing log output
  • extracting items from the session

If there are items you are looking for, or have problems / ideas, do raise an issue.
