Examples of Data Transfer Services (DTS) |
Purpose |
PROC UPLOAD and PROC DOWNLOAD permit you to specify SAS data set options in the DATA= and OUT= options. Note that SAS data set options are not supported when using the INLIB= and OUTLIB= options, even when you upload only data sets.
The data set options must be associated with a specific SAS data set, so they must be used in the DATA= or OUT= options. For details about additional restrictions, see The UPLOAD Procedure and The DOWNLOAD Procedure.
This example illustrates using the DATA= option and the INDEX=NO option. It also shows the use of the RENAME= and DROP= SAS data set options.
Note: Because the OUT= option is not specified, the transferred data set inherits all the characteristics of the input data set except for the index (because the INDEX=NO option is specified).
