file-specification
identifies a file in one of the following forms:
fileref
specifies a fileref or the allocated DDname of the file. A fileref can consist of up to
eight letters, numbers, national characters ($, @, and #), and underscores (_). The
first character must be either a letter, a national character, or an underscore.
fileref(member)
specifies a member of a partitioned data set, where the PDS or PDSE is specified
by the assigned fileref or allocated DDname.
The value of the FILEEXT= system option can affect the way SAS interprets
PDS and PDSE member names. See “FILEEXT= System Option” on page 432 for
details.
’physical-filename’
specifies a physical file, which can be a sequential file, a member of partitioned
data set (PDS), a member of an extended partitioned data set (PDSE), or a UNIX
System Services file, using the following syntax:
3 a UNIX System Services file. For example:
or
’/u/userid/raw’
’HFS:raw’
