        The problem is because the CONFIG option of SAS didn't point to a
correct config file. My way to run sas files of a project is:
        create SAS_BATCH_Run.bat, which is in the project base folder,
C:\wa\FDA\2002Fall\ . and create BATCH_REPORT_GENERATER.SAS to %include
        all sas files you want to run in this batch running.

        the command in SAS_BATCH_Run.bat:
        ---------------------------
        sas BATCH_REPORT_GENERATER.SAS  -BATCH -CONFIG
"C:\wa\FDA\2002Fall\SASV8.cfg" -SASUSER "C:\wa\fda\2002Fall\SASUser\V8"
-WORK "C:\wa\fda\2002Fall\SASDATA\work"
        --------------------------
        NOTE: I also made folders for options -SASUSER and -WORK, which are
intended only for this project.

        Add the following in to the SASV8.cfg for this project, which is
C:\wa\FDA\2002Fall\SASV8.cfg in my case. Make change on your purpose.
        /*---------------------------------------------------------
                MY SAS CONFIGURATION
         ----------------------------------------------------------*/
        /* set the init working folder   for FDA project        */
        -SASINITIALFOLDER "C:\wa\FDA\2002Fall\SASCODE"

        /* autoexec for each project, in order to setup some common
things,*/
        /*      such as libname, constant macro variables, etc. */
        -AUTOEXEC  "C:\wa\FDA\2002Fall\autoexec.sas"

        /* WORK library settings  -- why it doesn't work? 11/13/2002
                -- must be put in command line after sas.exe
                -- same with the SASUSER option                 */
        -WORK "C:\wa\FDA\2002Fall\SASData\WORK"
        -SASUSER "C:\wa\FDA\2002Fall\SASUser\V8"

        /* DO NOT ERASE TEMPORARY DATASETS                      */
        /*-NOWORKINIT
        -NOWORKTERM
        */

        /*-----------------------------------------------------------
                END OF   MY SAS CONFIGURATION
         ----------------------------------------------------------*/

        Dear fellow SAS-users,

        In attempting to use batch processing by right-clicking on the
program file and choosing "Batch Submit" I get the error message, "Error:
Configuration file "C:\Program" is unreadable." How do I resolve this
matter?
