The way I've used the NT scheduler is to run the 'AT' command from a DOS 
window.

ie   AT hh:mm /interactive   CMD   /c      c:\sasprogs\sasbatch.cmd

The file sasbatch.cmd would contain all the parameters necessary to run 
your program.

ie. "C:\progra~1\sasins~1\sas\v8\sas.exe" -CONFIG 
"C:\progra~1\sasins~1\sas\v8\SASV8.CFG" -SYSIN "c:\sasprogs\xyz.sas"

I didn't know about the schedule wizard........thanks Patrice !

Simple (but not quite obvious at first site). 

Open the "Workstation" icon, choose "Scheduled task" (or something like 
that). I'm working on a french NT 4. I'm purely translating first hand. 
The right term might not be like this one but at least you'll be very 
close.

From there, create a new sheduled task... I've encountered some problem at 

first but it was the way to call up the parameters for the task that was a 

little bit confusing. Here's a sample of my startup code from the task 
property:

"D:\Program files\SAS Institute\SAS\V8\SAS.EXE" 
-autoexec=s:\concorde\autoexecnuit.sas -altlog=s:\concorde\altlog.txt 

Hope this is helpfull enough for your need. 

Sincerely yours,

Objet : Schedule a SAS job on NT workstation 


Hi, 

I remember there was a question regarding scheduling a SAS job on Windows 
environment but I can not find the e-mail. I apologize for asking the same 

question again. 

Can someone please let me know how I can set up a batch job on NT 
workstation (not server) or Windows 2000 machine? I have tried AT command 
but I keep getting ERROR on status. And I don't really know how to check 
what kind of the error it is. Please let me know if there is a better 
place 
to post this kind of questions. 



Thanks,
