Thanks for all insightful replies.
I've solved the problem by using the code as following,
system('"C:\\Program Files\\SAS\\SAS 9.1\\sas.exe"
C:/entropy/output7/scale/syntax.sas')
Thanks for you all.

See ?shell (and ?system) and find that you need one string such as:
shell('"c:\\Program Files\\SAS\\SAS 9.1\\sas.exe"
"c:\\entropy\\output7\\scale\\syntax.sas"')
given the paths are correct.
