FILEFORMS=operating-environment-form


Details

The FILEFORMS= system option specifies a default operating environment form using one to four characters. The default form is used when a printer file is dynamically allocated if FORMS= is not specified in the FILENAME statement or FILENAME function.


Comparison

The FILEFORMS= option specifies operating environment forms, whereas the portable FORMS= system option specifies the name of the default form that is used by the SAS FORM subsystem. For information about the FORM subsystem and about the FORMS= system option, see SAS Language Reference: Dictionary and Using the PRINT Command and the FORM Subsystem.
