SAS(R) 9.1.3 Companion for z/OS

Writing to the Internal Reader
Accessing External Files Using the FILE Statement to Specify Data Set Attributes 89
This example uses the FILENAME and FILE statements to write to an internal
reader:
filename injcl ’.misc.jcl’ disp=shr;
filename outrdr sysout=a pgm=intrdr
recfm=fb lrecl=80;
data _null_;
infile injcl(myjcl);
file outrdr noprint notitles;
input;
put _infile_;
run;
Writing to a Temporary Data Set
The following examples use the FILENAME and FILE statements to write to a
temporary data set.
3 This example shows how to use default attributes to define a temporary file:
filename tempfile ’&mytemp’ ;
data out;
file tempfile;
put ...;
run;
3 The next example defines a temporary file and specifies some of its attributes:
filename nextone ’&mytemp’ disp=new
lrecl=80 blksize=320 space=(trk,(3));
data out;
file nextone;
put ...;
run;
Using the FILE Statement to Specify Data Set Attributes
You can specify data set attributes in the FILE statement as well as in the
FILENAME statement or FILENAME function. SAS supplies default values for any
attributes that you do not specify. (For information about default values, see “Overview
of DCB Attributes” on page 381 and “DCB Option Descriptions” on page 379.)
This example specifies values for LRECL= and RECFM= in the FILE statement and
allows SAS to use the default value for BLKSIZE=:
filename x ’userid.newdata’ disp=new
space=(trk,(5,1)) volume=xyz111;
data out;
file x lrecl=80 recfm=fb;
put ... ;
run;
