A couple other things to check is:
Are there any files or autoexec.sas or programs, etc.
where the user has any local references to the .scr
such as rlink command that can be in code some other
place that will override:
FILENAME RLINK '!SASROOT\CONNECT\SASLINK\TCPxxx.SCR';
where the user's !SASROOT is elsewhere or local....
Or, if the users command was
FILENAME RLINK 'TCPxxx.SCR';
then of course it would need to be copied to the
users local default folder. A full path might help
if that is the case.
...etc, etc...
Just throwing out different things to check.
Hope this is helpful.

Sorry, Ted, you already knew where the default is.
Did the user have any overriding entries in his/her
local autoexec.sas or profiles, etc.? Was there any
command line argument passed, etc.?

Hi Ted,
If you locate where your sas.exe is located,
in that same folder is your .cfg file. In the
config file look for this entry:
/* SAS/CONNECT Software script files */
-SASSCRIPT -SASSCRIPT (!sasext0\connect\saslink)
e.g. if
-SET sasext0 "C:\Program Files\SAS Institute\SAS\V8"
then the !sasext0 is
"C:\Program Files\SAS Institute\SAS\V8"
plus
"\connect\saslink"
You will find your tcpxxxx.scr files there.
Hope this is helpful.

Subject: SAS Connect Script File Location
Out of curiosity, how does SAS know where to find the SAS Connect script
file for remote submission? I have a colleague who, when he tried to
remotely submit a job to our SAS server yesterday, received an error
message indicating that the remote submit script file (tcpwin.scr) did
not exist in the" C:\WINDOWS\system32" folder.
Since this folder is not accessible to users, we called our IT
Department to copy the file from
"C:\Program Files\SAS\SAS 9.1\connect\saslink"
to that folder. After that was done, he was able to remotely submit his
job.
However, today, he gets a message that the script file is not in
"C:\Documents and Settings\<his user id>"
being able to get to this folder ourselves, we have now copied
tcpwin.scr into that directory as well and he is able to remote submit
again.
My question is why did SAS look for that file in different places
yesterday and today.
When I had seen a similar problem before, it appeared to me that the
location that SAS wanted the remote submission script to be depended on
how you got into SAS. That is, if you opened SAS by double clicking on
a SAS dataset in Windows Explorer, SAS would want the file in one
folder. On the other hand, if you opened SAS by using the "Start" menu
(i.e., Start-Programs-SAS-SAS 9.1), then SAS would look for that file in
different folder.
However, in this case, my colleague accessed SAS through the "Start"
menu both days.
Any ideas?
