In other places of this website, I wrote about how to run Winsteps in a batch mode through SAS, but I failed to write
syntax that is perfect. With my old syntax, you would have to sit in front of a computer and click off a DOS prompt--each
time one run of Winsteps is over, so you let the next run of Winsteps. Eric Van Lante and I have been working on a SAS
program that has to run Winsteps hundreds of times and finally we had to figure out how to run Winsteps in a complete and
absolute batch mode.
This below is the batch mode you can rely on. Please ignore some macro parts of the syntax (e.g., &).
The idea is to use the right option and also use the START /WAIT statement to run Winsteps.
option noxwait xsync;
%let win= C:\WINSTEPS\WINSTEPS.EXE; x "START /WAIT &win
BATCH=YES &WD&scale..con &WD&scale.1.out data=&storage.&scale.B&i..dat NEWSCORE=1112 xfile=&XF.rc1b&i..xf
";
x "START /WAIT &win BATCH=YES &WD&scale..con &WD&scale.1.out data=&storage.&scale.B&i..dat
NEWSCORE=1122 xfile=&XF.rc2b&i..xf ";
x "START /WAIT &win BATCH=YES &WD&scale..con &WD&scale.1.out
data=&storage.&scale.B&i..dat NEWSCORE=1123 xfile=&XF.rc3b&i..xf ";
x "START /WAIT &win BATCH=YES
&WD&scale..con &WD&scale.1.out data=&storage.&scale.B&i..dat NEWSCORE=1222 xfile=&XF.rc4b&i..xf
";
x "START /WAIT &win BATCH=YES &WD&scale..con &WD&scale.1.out data=&storage.&scale.B&i..dat
NEWSCORE=1223 xfile=&XF.rc5b&i..xf ";
x "START /WAIT &win BATCH=YES &WD&scale..con &WD&scale.1.out
data=&storage.&scale.B&i..dat NEWSCORE=1233 xfile=&XF.rc6b&i..xf ";
