Use the TYPE= table
option to create a special data set in the proper format or to identify
the special type of the data set.
Most data sets do not
have a specified type. However, there are several specially structured
data sets that are used by some
SAS/STAT procedures. These SAS data
sets contain special columns and rows, and they are usually created
by SAS statistical procedures. Because most of the special data sets
are used with
SAS/STAT software, they are described in
SAS/STAT
User’s Guide.
Other values are available
in other SAS software products and are described in the appropriate
documentation.
