HSLXTNTS=value

Details

The HSLXTNTS= option specifies the size in pages of each physical hiperspace that is created for a SAS library with the HIPERSPACE option in the LIBNAME statement or LIBNAME function. These physical hiperspaces are analogous to physical data set extents; when one is filled, another is obtained. They are logically combined internally to form a single logical hiperspace representing a library.

The value that you specify must be in the range 0 to 2,147,483,647. If you specify 0, SAS uses the value 1,800. Check with your system administrator for any site-specific maximum number of pages you can have.
