OUT=output data-set;

Arguments

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 DQSCHEME procedure.

IN=scheme-data-set

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

OUT=converted-scheme-data-set

specifies the name of the data set with 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.
