INFILE Statement Examples
Table 5.4 Examples of the INFILE Statement
Type of Data Set Example
sequential infile ’library.daily.data’;
member of a PDS or PDSE infile report(feb);
or
infile ’lib.daily.src(rpt1)’;
sequential or member of a
PDS or PDSE*
infile data;
IMS infile psb dli;
in-stream infile datalines;
* The type depends on what the fileref is associated with.
Reading from a Sequential File
This example assigns the fileref RAW to the data set MYID.RAW.DATAX and uses
the fileref in a simple DATA step:
filename raw ’myid.raw.datax’ disp=shr;
data out;
infile raw;
input ... ;
run;
This example is similar to the previous one, except that it specifies a value for the
SYSPREF= system option and then uses a partially qualified data set name in the
FILENAME statement:
options syspref=sys2.sas7;
filename raw2 ’.raw.datax’ disp=shr;
data out;
infile raw2;
input ... ;
run;
See “Specifying Physical Files” on page 14 for information about using SYSPREF=
and partially qualified data set names.
Reading from a Member of a PDS or PDSE
This example specifies the PDS name in the FILENAME statement and then
specifies the member name in parentheses following the fileref in the INFILE statement:
