FILEMOUNT | NOFILEMOUNT


Details

This option applies to the allocation of external files. It tells SAS what to do when an attempt is made to allocate a physical file on a volume that is offline.

If FILEMOUNT is in effect, a request is made to mount the volume. If NOFILEMOUNT is in effect, then the volume is not mounted and the allocation fails.
