Hi Regan:

I don't know what the defcustom bit is all about, but the f12 definition
looks correct to me.  Did you read

http://ess.r-project.org/Manual/ess.html#ESS_0028SAS_0029_002d_002dFunction-keys-for-batch-processing

If so, which of the 4 layouts did you pick?  If 4 or 5, then what you
want is C-F3 or C-F8 respectively.  If that is not working, then try
what's under b.; either
         (ess-sas-global-unix-keys) ; C-F3
or
         (ess-sas-global-pc-keys) ; C-F8
