Details
The RSESSION function
returns the session identifier and the corresponding description for
a
SAS/CONNECT server session. You must have previously defined the
description by using the RSTITLE function.
Example
This example loops through
four sessions and obtains the server session and description, which
is returned by using the RSESSION function. The program puts the descriptions
in separate arrays for later use (for example, to display a choice
of server sessions to upload to).
do i=1 to 4;
word=rsession(i);
if word ^=' ' then do;
remote=substr(word,1,17);
desc=(substr(word,18,57));
if rlink(remote) then do;
if desc=' ' then desc = remote;
cnt=cnt + 1;
entrys{cnt}=remote;
comam{cnt}=desc;
end;
end;
end;
