BASIC: specifies a regular-format sequential data set that cannot exceed 64K tracks per volume.
LARGE: specifies a regular-format sequential data set that can exceed 64K tracks per volume.
NONE: causes SAS to not specify a DSNTYPE value when allocating the library data set. The type of data set that is created is determined by the system, which uses the default values that are supplied by the SMS data class.

Details

Use the DLDSNTYPE option to specify the default value of the DSNTYPE LIBNAME option that is to be used when you create direct access bound libraries that reside in DSORG=PS data sets.

Note: This option is ignored when you create V6 libraries. [cautionend]

The value that you specify for DLDSNTYPE can be overridden by the DSNTYPE LIBNAME option.
