Syntax

DYNALLOC | NODYNALLOC

DYNALLOC
specifies that the host sort utility supports dynamic allocation of any necessary work files. Therefore, SAS does not attempt to allocate them.

NODYNALLOC
specifies that SAS will allocate sort work files. This may be necessary if the host sort utility does not support allocation. Some sort programs will not reallocate previously allocated work files even if the space requirements are greater.
