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.
Default: | The primary path specified in the LIBNAME statement |
Engine: | SPD Engine only |
is a complete pathname, in single or double quotation marks within parentheses. Separate multiple arguments with spaces.
/data01
and /data02
are
locally mounted drives on the localA computer, use the pathnames /nfs/localA/data01
and /nfs/localA/data02
in
the LIBNAME statement.
libname mylib spde '/metadisk/metadata' datapath= ('/disk1/dataflow1' '/disk2/dataflow2' '/disk3/dataflow3') indexpath=('/disk1/idxflow1' '/disk2/idxflow2' '/disk3/idxflow3' );The path for the first index component files is randomly selected. SAS puts the index component files in the first location until that location is full, and then continues in a cyclical fashion. For example, if /disk2/idxflow2 is randomly selected, the first index component files are located there. When that location is full, the index component files overflow to /disk3/idxflow3, and then to /disk1/idxflow1.
