Details

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.
