Subject:      Running SAS 8.2 from z/OS shell prompt and CGI

I want to prototype some CGI scripts running on the MVS web server.

What is the trick to execute SAS directly from the UNIX (OMVS or
telnet) shell? This did not work:

$ tso ex "'SYS1.CMDPROC(SAS)'"
ex 'SYS1.CMDPROC(SAS)'
1Warning: SASUSER file: UNAVAILABLE DATASET
          SASUSER file not allocated to this session
RC(8)

I just want to view the html output by eye this way, while debugging.

It seems that to run as an actual CGI script, there are some extra
install steps. What is a good way to determine if these steps have been
done?

Anyone doing this (running SAS as a CGI script from z/OS httpd server)?
How has your experience been?
