CONVERT Statement


Converts schemes between SAS and BFD formats.
Required: All options are required (IN and OUT, BFDTOSAS or SASTOBFD).
See also: Applying Schemes.

CONVERT
IN=file-specification OUT=file-specification
BFDTOSAS | SASTOBFD;

BFDTOSAS | SASTOBFD

specify BDFTOSAS to convert a scheme in Blue Fusion Data format to SAS format. Specify SASTOBFD to convert a scheme in SAS format to Blue Fusion Data format. Schemes with SAS format are created with the CREATE statement using the NOBFD option in the PROC DQSCHEME statement.

CAUTION:
In the z/OS operating environment, specify BFDTOSAS only.

In z/OS, schemes in BFD format can be applied but not created.  [cautionend]

IN=file-specification

identifies the existing scheme that is to be converted. If BFDTOSAS is specified, then the value must be the name of a fileref that references a fully qualified path in lowercase that ends in .sch.bfd. (In the z/OS operating environment, the PDS specification has no special naming requirements.) If SASTOBFD is specified, then the value must be a one-level or two-level SAS data set name.

OUT=file-specification

specifies the name of the converted scheme. If BFDTOSAS is specified, the value must be a one-level or two-level SAS data set name. If SASTOBFD is specified, the value must be the name of a fileref. This fileref references a fully qualified path in lowercase that ends in .sch.bfd.

Note: the z/OS operating environment, the PDS specification has no special naming requirements.
