    Problem Symptoms:
    csh script running SAS jobs from the job_list gets the following errors:

    ERROR: Library SASUSER does not exist.
    FATAL: Unable to initialize the options subsystem.
    ERROR: (SASXKINI): PHASE 3 KERNEL INITIALIZATION FAILED.
    UNABLE TO INITIALIZE THE SAS KERNEL

    but, if run manually (from the Unix command line), it runs fine.

    Cause:
    Uncertain

    Resolution:
    Solved locally: Moved the "$HOME/sasuser.v91" directory out of the way so it would be re-created the next time the script ran. After doing this and also restarting the batch job daemon, everything is now OK.

    Additional Information

    The following appears in the $alephe_scratch/jobd.log: Performing Jobs: ---------------- /exlibris/aleph/u20_1/sny_scripts/plif/sas/runplif.csh The "runplif.csh" which is being executed is a local script.
