Syntax

DYNALLOC | NODYNALLOC

DYNALLOC

specifies that the host sort utility supports dynamic allocation of any necessary work files. Therefore, SAS does not attempt to allocate them.

NODYNALLOC

specifies that SAS allocates sort work files. This specification might be necessary if the host sort utility does not support allocation. Some sort programs do not reallocate previously allocated work files even if the space requirements are greater.
