V7TAPE|V8TAPE|TAPE
specifies the sequential engine for Version 7 and Version 8. These engines are identical. V8TAPE is the default value.

V6TAPE

The SEQENGINE= option specifies the default access method, or engine, that is used when creating new sequential-format SAS data libraries. The engine that is used with an existing sequential library is determined by the first data set in that library and is not affected by this option.
