Subject: Re[2]: Namepipe under WinNT
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Are other people running SAS 6.12 under Windows 95 also able to get PIPE to
work as Dan did? Ian and I both tried his final example, with a directory that
was present on our C drives. We saw the list of files flash through a DOS
window, but no records were read from IN. Playing around with XWAIT and XSYNC
didn't seem to matter. Anyone have any ideas why this works for Dan but not for
us? I was interested because the discussion in the SAS Companion for Windows
suggested to me that Windows NT was required for any of the piping stuff to
work.

Peter,
you are perfectly welcome to give up on PIPE, but the problem may be in how you
specified the filename. To get a directory listing , I ran the code from the
log file listed below on my Win95 system with SAS 6.12 TS045 . The only
problem relative to the original request is that this will open up a dos
window.
Hope this is helpful to someone,
Dan Nordlund
