Sleepless in Wherever - Resolving Issues in Scheduled Jobs
Overview Even with the capability of Windows scheduler or other utilities to schedule the SAS jobs to run automatically, life is not always a dream. Dataset names and variables that must be changed periodically along with perpetually growing log files can keep people awake at night. This paper discusses techniques to solve these problems using macro variables and various date formats. It will also discuss a method for time-stamping data when the time periods are nonstandard. The paper will describe a relatively simple way to send an e-mail message when a job fails and will show how to automatically shut off the computer when the jobs finish running.
