Tim, SAS/Connect is an optional product you can obtain from SAS Institute which allows SAS sessions running on different computers to communicate and share resources. In my case, I am looking to use SAS on my PC, connect to an IBM mainframe running MVS/TSO, and have TSO run programs for me. SAS/Connect can also be used to move data from one computer to another and to make files that exist on a different computer look like they reside on your computer.

Hope this helps. My thanks to Michael Davis, Tony Payne, and Chris Zogby for their help on using macro variables in logon scripts. Clint Clint Rickards, ARS IT, TNB2 Phone: 860-273-3420
