Required Arguments

Syntax

CONVERT <BFDTOSAS | SASTOBFD>

<IN=input-data-set>

<OUT=output-data-set>;

Required Arguments

BFDTOSAS | SASTOBFD

specify BDFTOSAS to convert a scheme in QKB scheme file format to SAS format. Specify SASTOBFD to convert a scheme in SAS format to QKB scheme file format. Schemes with SAS format are created with the CREATE statement using the NOBFD option in the DQSCHEME procedure.

CAUTION:

In the z/OS operating environment, specify BFDTOSAS only. In z/OS, schemes in QKB scheme file format can be applied but not created.

IN=scheme-data-set

identifies the existing scheme data set 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.

If SASTOBFD is specified, then the value must be a one-level or two-level SAS data set name.

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.

Requirements	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.
Requirements	If BFDTOSAS is specified, the value must be a one-level or two-level SAS data set name.
Note	The z/OS operating environment, the PDS specification has no special naming requirements.
