Hi,
I was trying to run SAS interactively using Emacs and ESS under UNIX, but
I could not invoke SAS from within Emacs. I could not figure out why.
Below are some details:
1) emacs test.sas &
2) After keying in: M-x SAS, I then have four buffers:
test.sas in (ESS[SAS] [none]) mode
*SAS.log* in (Shell [] ESStr) mode
*SAS.log* in (Shell [] ESStr) mode
*SAS.lst* in (Shell [] ESSlst) mode
and a mini buffer saying:
ESS [SAS(SAS): /home/mylogin/ESSDIR/ess-5.2.11/etc/ess-sas-sh-command]
starting data directory? ~/
3) I simply hit return, then the mini buffer says:
Process SAS is not running.
I use GNU Emacs 21.1.1 and ESS 5.2.11. In our Unix system we have SAS
9.1, SAS 8.2 and SAS6.12. I have no problem with running S/R from
within Emacs + ESS under Unix.
Any hints? I appreciate your help.
Biao
