I'm trying to schedule a project, but I'm unable to run VBScript due to privilege restriction on my PC. I want to create a program using C# that takes the place of the VBScript that is automatically generated by SAS EG when using the "Schedule Program" option.

Chris Hemedinger wrote a paper on automation for SAS EG 5.1, which was useful for finding the correct .dll to reference in my C# Project. However, the reference provided in that paper to the scripting documentation links to the general EG documentation site.

Is there scripting documentation available for SAS EG 7.1?

  • Can you run Powershell scripts? That may be easier... in any event, I suspect the documentation exists but I don't know where. You might post on Chris's blog on one of the relevant posts ([The SAS Dummy](http://blogs.sas.com/content/sasdummy/)) - that might be the best place, he undoubtedly knows. – Joe Sep 15 '16 at 16:38
  • @Joe It looks like I am able to run PowerShell Scripts, so that could very well be an option. Thanks for the suggestion! Hopefully someone comes along who knows where the documentation exists, but I will post on Chris's blog as well. – J Petersen Sep 16 '16 at 00:57

    Additionally, if you post on communities.sas.com Chris can point you towards any relevant reference. Chris is now the SAS communities manager. – Reeza Sep 16 '16 at 03:05
  • I posted on communities.sas.com and Chris answered within minutes. Posting an answer here shortly with the link he provided. – J Petersen Sep 16 '16 at 14:55

The scripting documentation for SAS EG can be found here: http://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/guide/SASEGScripting42.zip

In Windows the .chm file will not work immediately after extracting it from the .zip. You will need to right click the file, select properties, and then unblock.
