-
FILEPROMPT
-
specifies that you want to be prompted.
The prompt enables you to create the data set dynamically or to cancel the
request. FILEPROMPT is the default value in the interactive environment.
-
NOFILEPROMPT
-
specifies that you do not want to be prompted.
In this case, the data set is not created, and your LIBNAME or FILENAME statement
or function fails.
The FILEPROMPT option controls whether
you are prompted if the physical file that is referenced in a FILENAME statement
or function or in a LIBNAME statement or function does not exist. This option
has no effect in batch mode.
