When you write a simple
SAS program to start a server, you can set SAS options in a configuration
file, which is processed during SAS invocation, or you can set the
options explicitly in a server session. To enable communication between
the server and clients that are running under different operating
environments, you must specify a communications access method. Also,
you can predefine SAS libraries to the server. Finally, you start
the server and specify the options that you want.
The following sample
program shows how to start a server on UNIX. (The exact syntax varies
by operating environment.)
options comamid=tcp;
libname payable '/dept/acct/pay';
proc server authenticate=optional id=share1 msgnumber;
