Attention : This code requires administrator privileges.
This macro 'AHGcmdNo' uses the SAS© 'x' command to execute a shell command (echo). It writes the value of the 'num' parameter to a text file 'cmdNo.txt' located in the directory pointed to by the 'localtemp' macro variable. The use of the 'x' command requires system privileges and that the XCMD option be enabled (often restricted in a secure Viya™ environment).
