Unix Research - SAS
I get the following error when running SAS: "ERROR: Cannot
open X display. Check display name/server access
authorization."
Our licensed copy of SAS 9.1.3 no longer supports "line"
terminals for interactive mode. To run SAS interactively you must
have an X Windows Server installed and running on your local client
machine. Please see the
X Windows Section for more information.
I don't have an X Windows Server installed. Can I still
make use of SAS on the Unix Research Machines?
Yes. You can run your jobs in "batch" mode by typing
sas filename .
When I try and access the SAS help system I get and error about
"netscape: command not found". How can I fix
this?
To fix this edit the following in the sasuser.v91/SASUSERPREFS
file:
SAS.webBrowser: netscape
SAS.helpBrowser: netscape
to be:
SAS.webBrowser: firefox
SAS.helpBrowser: firefox
