A script is a SAS program stored in a file on the
local host. However, the programming statements in a script are not the usual SAS programming statements. Instead, scripts use a specialized set of SAS statements called script
statements. Scripts are executed to initiate or terminate SAS/CONNECT sessions. Scripts that initiate the connection are executed by submitting the SIGNON statement, and scripts
that terminate the connection are executed by submitting the SIGNOFF statement. In most cases, the same script is used to sign on and sign off.
