CLIST | NOCLIST


Details

The CLIST option controls whether SAS obtains its input from the terminal directly (NOCLIST specified) or indirectly (CLIST specified) when running interactively under TSO. When CLIST is specified, you can use TSO CLISTs that include SAS statements after the TSO command that invokes SAS. NODMS must be specified if SAS is to obtain its primary input from a CLIST. Otherwise, only input from files that are allocated to the terminal will come from a CLIST.

The CLIST option can also be used in a REXX exec, as the following example shows:

queue "data_null_;"
queue "put 'Use QUEUE to provide input when using the CLIST option';"
queue "run;"
queue "endsas;"
'SASRX -clist'
