I think you will go farther in your education
by spending your time learning to run SAS in batch
and use UE as your batch program editor.

you'll probably want to read the error messages again:

1 proc Options define value option = editcmd;
2 run;

SAS (r) Proprietary Software Release 9.1 TS1M3

ERROR: Unrecognized SAS option name, EDITCMD.

you may wish to examine the following
however, I see no option which addresses using another editor.

proc Options define value option = ENHANCEDEDITOR;
run;

proc Options Group= ENVDISPLAY;run;

If you always try to be logical,
you probably won't ever have much sorrow,
or much fun.

Command Line "C:\Program Files\SAS\SAS 9.1\sas.exe" -CONFIG
"C:\Program Files\SAS\SAS 9.1\nls\en\SASV9.CFG" %f

If I remove the %f, I am able to invoke SAS but not submit anything.

If I leave %f, I get the following:

ERROR: Unrecognized SAS option name, C:\MYDOCU~1\SASCOD~1\EDIT3.SAS
ERROR: (SASXKRIN): KERNEL RESOURCE INITIALIZATION FAILED.

Command Line "C:\Program Files\SAS\SAS 9.1\sas.exe" -CONFIG
"C:\Program Files\SAS\SAS 9.1\nls\en\SASV9.CFG" %f

If I remove the %f, I am able to invoke SAS but not submit anything.

If I leave %f, I get the following:

ERROR: Unrecognized SAS option name, C:\MYDOCU~1\SASCOD~1\EDIT3.SAS
ERROR: (SASXKRIN): KERNEL RESOURCE INITIALIZATION FAILED.
