Execution

When you submit an Execution Setup to run a Program, the system performs tasks in the sequence listed in the following procedure.

1. Initializes the batch environment for the appropriate technology
2. If necessary, compiles all the Source Code files in the order in which they are listed in the Source Code subtab (all SAS macros and formats included in the Program are compiled)
3. Launches the primary Source Code file using the Parameter values specified in the Execution Setup

Note:

You cannot set a Static-reference Source Code as primary. Also, you cannot set a Source Code that points directly to a Program definition as primary.

4. Launches any secondary Source Code files when they are called from the primary file
5. Writes data to Table instances, if so directed by the source code
6. If directed by the source code, generates reports and classifies them as specified in Planned Output definitions
