SAS Companion for the CMS Environment

CMS Filetypes Used by SAS

Unless you specify otherwise, SAS assumes default filetypes for the CMS files that it reads and writes. Here are the default CMS filetypes that are used by SAS:

DATA: is the default filetype that is used when no CMS filetype is supplied by a user or by SAS.
LISTING: is the default filetype for output from SAS procedures.
SAS: is the default filetype for a file that contains SAS statements. SAS applies this filetype to SAS macro files, autoexec files, and files that contain SAS programs.
SASLOG: is the default filetype for the SAS log.
SASSAVE: is the default filetype for SAS autosave files.
SPK: is the default filetype for SAS rendered ZIP files.

SAS uses the following filetypes for special SAS data libraries:

LIBRARY
MESSAGE
SASHELP
SASTAPE
SASUSER
SASTAPE
WORK.
