SYSINP=external-program-name

external-program-name

identifies an external program, using eight characters or less.


Details

SAS calls this external program every time it needs a new SAS input statement. The PGMPARM= option (see PGMPARM= System Option: z/OS) enables you to pass a parameter to the program that you specify with the SYSINP= option.

The SYSINP= option overrides the SYSIN= system option.
