How do I run Altair SLC from the command line (on Linux, Unix, AIX)?

On Linux and other Unix based systems the Altair SLC command line interface looks like this:

cd FOLDER_NAME
SLC_INSTALL_ROOT/bin/wps PROGRAM_NAME.sas -print PROGRAM_NAME.lst -log PROGRAM_NAME.log

Replace FOLDER_NAME with the full path to the folder where your .sas program files are stored, and replace PROGRAM_NAME with the .sas program name. Replace SLC_INSTALL_ROOT with the location where Altair SLC is installed on your system - the default path is /opt/altair/slc/2023.

The output is written to the log and listing files on successful completion of each datastep or proc. For an unbuffered output to a log file, e.g if a step is failing, then the -stdio option can be used to capture the output of the uncompleted step:

cd FOLDER_NAME
SLC_INSTALL_ROOT/bin/wps -stdio <PROGRAM_NAME.sas >PROGRAM_NAME.log 2>&1

This approach should get you a .log file containing the full log right up until the problem occurs. Please send the .log file for us to analyse.
