Ah, SAS. I used that a lot in the early '80s for general programming. I felt a lot about SAS then as I do about Python now.
Enough of that. Can you show your python code that invokes SAS; and can you also show what you type at a command line that makes SAS run the way you want? Given the command line, it should be pretty straightforward to move the command line invocation into Python.
