SAS creating batch files

Question

I am having trouble trying to figure out why my .bat file wont work. So far this is what I have:

@ECHO OFF

"C:\Program Stuff\Home\SASEnterpriseGuide\7.1\SEGuide.exe" -sysin "C:\Test\Daily report.sas"

PAUSE

It opens SAS just fine and then when it goes to import the sas file it gives me an error the error is a Text File Access Error.

I dont know if their is an easier way of doing this but I would like for it to open SAS like it is doing and then run that sas file. Any help would be appreciated. Also a side note I am using sas 7.1 64bit.

Running SAS in batch mode is meant to be done with sas.exe, not Enterprise Guide:

"C:\Program Stuff\Home\SASFoundation\9.X\sas.exe" -sysin "C:\Test\Daily report.sas"

If you abolutely need to use EGuide to run your program, you can go to File->Schedule.... This generates a VBS script that is used by Windows Task Scheduler to execute your scheduled project but you could call that script from your batch job.

No, you may not have SAS installed, especially if SAS EG is connecting to a server and not locally. If this is the case, talk to your IT team on how to automate/schedule a job.
