ess-remote and SAS

[Yau, Jason]

I run sas either with 'sas -stdio' or with the additional options suggested
in the docs (-stdio -linesize 80 -noovp -nosyntaxcheck) - it doesn't work
either way. I've tried running with no parameters as well, but that just
opens the windowing system, and it doesn't seem to take any stdin inputs in
that mode.

I didn't not end each PROC/DATA sequence with RUN;, but I do end the program
with it. I was under the impression that that is all that is necessary. I AM
taking a working SAS program that works on my Windows machine and attempting
to run it over the server (of course, adjusting for libname paths, etc.)

Actually, to clarify the behavior, if I put the cursor on a line of code and
press C-c i, that line of code looks to be sent to the shell buffer and
interpreted by SAS - I get errors if it doesn't make sense. If I select a
section or all of the code and press C-c i, it just goes to the next line
number without any messages or a pause. It may or may not be submitting the
code, but it definitely doesn't seem to be running anything. Do I have to
submit manually? Also, am I going to have the standard log/output, etc.
emacs buffres that I'm supposed to get if I'm doing this on my own machine
without ess-remote? Where are these going?

Thanks in advance.

Jason

What does
"3. Ran sas on the server"
mean?  Did you run command line sas?, the SAS windowing system?
Did you start sas where it sends the output to the *iESS* window or to a 
.lst file?  Did you end each PROC and DATA sequence with the RUN; command.

I need that additional detail before I can make a further suggetion.
