Hi,

I have a unique situation. I am trying to run my SAS programs on a
server (A)  which does not have SAS installed. So I wrote a script
which does an ssh to a server (B)  which has sas and runs my programs
remotely.
Now, I want to go one step ahead and develop my programs in A using
xemacs. I am not an xemacs pro but I was wondering if anyone has used
another program to invoke sas instead of calling the sas.exe which is
the default. sshsas is the script that I want to use instead of the
default sas.exe used by xemacs. These are some of the options I tried
on init.el

(setq-default inferior-SAS-program-name "sshsas")
(setq-default inferior-S+6-program-name "/sshsas")

I also looked at the buffer-local option in the ESS manual. I am not
sure how I need to utilize that, but this is what I finally wrote at
the end of my SAS program based on my understanding.


data survey;
    input id sex $ age inc r1 r2 r3 ;
    datalines;
  1 F 35 17 7 2 .
 17 M 50 14 5 5 3
 13 F 45  6 7 2 7
;

proc print;
run;

endsas;
Local variables:
    ess-sas-submit-command: "sshsas"
End:

Thanks in advance
