Syntax

Required Argument

DQSRVPROTOCOL=WIRELINE | SOAP

specifies the SAS Data Quality Server protocol. In operating environments, other than z/OS, the default SOAP protocol is recommended.

SOAP

specifies to use the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP).

WIRELINE

specifies the Wireline protocol, which is required in the z/OS operating environment for DataFlux Data Management Servers. The Wireline protocol improves data transfer performance in z/OS. In the SAS Data Quality Server software, z/OS support encompasses the DMSRVDATASVC procedure and all functions.

Requirement The Wireline protocol must be specified in the z/OS operating environment.

Optional Argument

TRANSCODE=IGNORE | WARN

specifies whether transcoding errors end SAS processing.

  • Errors can also occur when transcoding the locale's character set into the character set that is used in the SAS session.
  • Transcoding errors can occur if characters in the source data cannot be converted into the character set that is used by the selected locale.

IGNORE

prevents writing of transcoding warning messages to the SAS log. SAS processing continues and ignores any transcoding errors.

WARN

writes transcoding error messages to the SAS log, and SAS stops processing.

Default A value is not supplied for the TRANSCODE= option.
