FILSZ | NOFILSZ

FILSZ

specifies that the host sort utility supports the FILSZ parameter. SAS uses the FILSZ= option in the SORT control statement that it generates and passes to the sort program. FILSZ is more efficient than the SIZE parameter.

NOFILSZ

specifies that the host sort utility does not support the FILSZ parameter. SAS uses the SIZE= option in the SORT control statement that it generates and passes to the sort utility program.


Details

If a program product sort utility that supports the FILSZ parameter is installed, specifying the FILSZ option increases the sort efficiency.
