Setting Up SAS as an IDE

To use SAS as an integrated development environment (IDE), do the following on your local PC:

  • Get the CD-ROM that contains the files cdrconfig.xml and cdrclient.exe from your system administrator and insert it into your PC. InstallShield automatically runs setup.exe, that loads cdrconfig.xml and cdrclient.exe to a location you specify on your local computer.
  • Install SAS on your PC in the location specified by your system administrator. The location must match the directory path specified in cdrconfig.xml.
  • Ensure that cdrconfig.xml has the correct directory path for the SAS executable.
  • Set the user preference for the SAS connection mode. See Connecting to SAS.
  • Install any software required to support the preferred connection mode Connecting to SAS.
