How can you run a SAS program in batch mode?

Running a SAS program in batch mode is typically accomplished by submitting a .sas file from a command line. Batch mode allows you to execute SAS programs without the need for user interaction, which is ideal for processing large datasets or automating routine tasks.

When using the command line to run a SAS program, you would typically use a command like sas myprogram.sas where 'myprogram.sas' is your SAS program file. This method is efficient for executing scripts that do not require immediate user input or interaction, and it enables the execution of programs remotely or in scheduled tasks.

Other options do not fit the criteria for running a program in batch mode. Opening a program in the SAS GUI or using the interactive SAS window both require user interaction and engagement with the SAS interface, which is contrary to the concept of batch processing. Scheduling in the SAS Management Console may imply running tasks automatically, but it is not a direct method for executing a program in batch mode and is more about managing jobs rather than executing them from a command line interface.
