SAS(R) 9.1.3 Companion for z/OS

364 FILE Statement Chapter 17
3 a fully qualified data set name with a member in parentheses. For example:
’sas.raw.data(mem1)’
3 a partially qualified data set name with a period preceding it. For example:
’.raw.data’
3 a partially qualified data set name with a period preceding it and a member
name in parentheses. For example:
’.raw.data(mem1)’
3 a temporary data set name. For example:
’&mytemp’
The value of the FILEEXT= system option can affect the way SAS interprets file
specifications for PDS and PDSE files. See “FILEEXT= System Option” on page
432 for details.
See “Specifying Physical Files” on page 14 for more information about partially
qualified data set names.
ENCODING=encoding-value
specifies the encoding to use when writing to the output file. The value for
ENCODING= indicates that the output file has a different encoding from the
current session encoding. However, you can also specify the same encoding for the
output file as for that of the current session encoding. You must enclose the value
in quotation marks if it contains a dash.
If you specify an encoding value different from the session encoding, SAS
transcodes the data from the session encoding to the specified encoding when you
write data to the output file. The default encoding is the session encoding, which
is the value of the ENCODING= SAS system option.
For valid encoding values and more information about encoding, see “Encoding
Values in SAS Language Elements” in the SAS National Language Support (NLS):
User’s Guide.
LOG
directs output to the SAS log file.
PRINT
directs output to the SAS procedure output file.
type
specifies the type of file. When you omit type, the default is a standard external file.
Nonstandard (host-specific) file types that you can specify for z/OS are
DLI
for IMS-DL/I databases. For information about IMS-DL/I options for the FILE
statement, see SAS/ACCESS Interface to IMS-DL/I Software.
HFS
for UNIX System Services files. See “Accessing UNIX System Services Files” on
page 100.
MVS
for z/OS data sets.
PIPE
for pipelines in UNIX System Services. See “Piping Data from SAS to a UNIX
System Services Command” on page 104.
