Defines destinations for SAS procedure output and for the SAS
log
| OS/390 specifics: |
UNIT= option; output destination
|
In the SAS CLIST and the SAS cataloged procedure that are supplied by SAS
Institute, no filerefs of the form FTnnF001 are predefined for
the UNIT= option. Ask your SAS Installation Representative whether your site
has predefined DDnames of the form FTnnF001.
Under OS/390, the destination of the procedure output
or the SAS log can be specified by either of the following:
- fileref
- sends the log or procedure output to a sequential
data set or member of a partitioned data set that is identified by the fileref.
- 'physical-filename'
- sends the log or procedure output to a sequential
data set, to a member of a partitioned data set, an extended partitioned data
set, or to a file in a UNIX System Services hierarchical file system.
The following restrictions apply to PROC PRINTTO under
OS/390:
- When writing log or procedure output files to
a partitioned data set member, you must specify the NEW option; you cannot
append data to a partitioned data set member.
- If you create a file to be used with the PRINTTO
procedure and specify a record format that has no carriage control characters,
the PROC PRINTTO output will not include carriage control characters.
- In order to simultaneously route both the SAS
log and procedure output files to partitioned data set members, the members
must be in different partitioned data
sets.
