The
following automatic macro variables are valid in all operating environments,
but their values are determined by the operating environment:
contains the current
SAS condition code. Upon exit, SAS translates this condition code
to a return code that has a meaningful value for the operating environment.
Note: The value of SYSCC might
not match the return code returned by the operating system.
Under UNIX, the following
codes can be returned:
Note: When ERRORCHECK=NORMAL, the
return code will be 0, even if an error exists in a LIBNAME or FILENAME
statement, or in a LOCK statement in
SAS/SHARE software. Also, the
SAS job or session will not abort when the %INCLUDE statement fails
due to a nonexistent file. For more information, see the
ERRORCHECK= System Option in SAS System Options: Reference.
contains the name of
the current graphics device. The current graphics device is determined
by the DEVICE system option. Contact your on-site SAS support personnel
to determine which graphics devices are available at your site. For
information, see
DEVICE System Option: UNIX and
DEVICE= System Option in SAS System Options: Reference.
reports whether SAS
is running interactively. Values for SYSENV are FORE when
the TERMINAL system option is in effect, and BACK when
the NOTERMINAL system option is in effect.
lists the process identification
number (PID) of the process that is executing SAS (for example, 00024).
returns the maximum
long integer value allowed under UNIX, which is 9,007,199,254,740,992.
On 32-bit systems, the maximum is 2,147,483,647.
holds the decimal value
of the exit status code that is returned by the last UNIX command
executed from your SAS session. The following output shows an interactive
line mode SAS session that shows two sample SYSRC values:
Sample SYSRC Values
1? x 'data';
/bin/ksh: data: not found
2? %put UNIX exit status code is &sysrc;
UNIX exit status code is 256
3? x 'date';
Tue Mar 15 09:41:27 CST 2011
4? %put UNIX exit status code is now &sysrc;
UNIX exit status code is now 0
returns the abbreviation
for your processor architecture, such as HP IPF, SUN
64, or AIX 64.
returns the name of
the specific UNIX environment that you are using, such as HP-UX, SunOS,
or AIX. This variable returns the same value
that is returned by the UNIX command uname.
