SPD Engine LIBNAME Statement Options List :: SAS® 9.4 Scalable Performance Data Engine: Reference, Fourth Edition

ACCESS=READONLY

specifies that data sets can be read, but not updated or created.

BYSORT=

specifies the SPD Engine to perform an automatic sort when it encounters a BY statement. BYSORT= is also a data set option.

COMPRESS=

specifies to compress SPD Engine data sets on disk as they are being created. COMPRESS= is also a data set option.

DATAPATH=

specifies a list of paths in which to store data partitions (.dpf) for an SPD Engine data set.

ENDOBS=

specifies the end observation number in a user-defined range of observations to be processed. ENDOBS= is also a data set option.

IDXBY=

specifies whether to use an index when processing a BY statement in the SPD Engine. IDXBY= is also a data set option.

INDEXPATH=

specifies a path or list of paths in which to store the two types of index component files (.hbx and .idx) associated with an SPD Engine data set.

IOBLOCKSIZE=

specifies the size in bytes of a block of observations to be used in an I/O operation. IOBLOCKSIZE= is also a data set option.

METAPATH=

specifies a list of paths in which to store overflow metadata (.mdf) component files for an SPD Engine data set.

PARTSIZE=

specifies the maximum size that the data component partitions can be. The value is specified when the SPD Engine data set is created. This size is a fixed size. This specification applies only to the data component files. PARTSIZE= is also a data set option.

STARTOBS=

specifies the starting observation number in a user-defined range of observations to be processed. STARTOBS= is also a data set option.

TEMP=

specifies to store the library in a temporary subdirectory of the primary path.
