interactive sas call from rexx

[jz1b0c]

When I execute the following rexx, during the SAS call (a panel) SAS screen is displayed, but I would like to execute the sas call in the background without user intervention.

/* REXX */
PARM='USER.SASMACRO(SAS1)'
"ALLOC DD(WORK) NEW REU UNIT(VIO) RECFM(F S) LRECL(6144)"
"ALLOC DD(SASAUTOS) DA('PROD.SAS.AUTOLIB') SHR REU"
"ALLOC DD(SASHELP) DA('PROD.SAS.SASHELP') SHR REU"
"ALLOC DD(SASMSG) DA('PROD.SAS.SASMSG') SHR REU"
"ALLOC DD(CONFIG) DA('USER.SYSIN(CONFIG)') SHR REU"
"ALLOC DD(SYSIN) DA('USER.SASMACRO(SAS1)') SHR REU"
"ALLOC DD(INP1) DA('USER.LAAATM01.LIST') SHR REU"
"ALLOC DD(OUT1) DA('USER.SAS1JCL1.OUT2') SHR REU"
"ALLOC DD(SASLOG) DA('USER.SAS1JCL1.SASLOG') SHR REU"
"ALLOC DD(SASLIST) DA('USER.SAS1JCL1.SASLIST') SHR REU"
/* "CALL 'PROD.SAS.LIBRARY(SAS)' '"PARM"'" */
"CALL 'PROD.SAS.LIBRARY(SAS)'"
"FREE DD(WORK SASAUTOS SASHELP SASMSG SASLOG SASLIST SYSIN INP1 OUT1)"
EXIT 0

'without user intervention' is a function of the program that's running. Some programs are smart enough to know that they are running unattended, some are not.
