As a default, jobs that are deployed from SAS Data Integration Studio are run using
this script.
If you are not using this script, then the Platform scheduling server will report your
SAS jobs as completing with a status of Exit instead of Done. This occurs because
Platform scheduling servers treat any non-zero exit code as Exit instead of Done.
To resolve this issue, you can use the sasbatch script that was created by the SAS
Configuration Wizard. If you are using a different script, you can modify the script so
that it uses a job starter. A job starter is similar to an automatic job wrapper and is
responsible for starting the task.
To use a job starter on Windows installations, modify your script as follows:
call sas.bat %*%
set rc=%ERRORLEVEL%
if %rc==1 goto makenormalexit
exit %rc
:makenormalexit
exit 0
To use a job starter on UNIX installations, modify your script as follow:
sas $*
rc=$?
if [ $rc -eq 1 ]; then
exit 0
else
exit $rc
fi
