In addition to the logical names shown
in
SAS Software Files, which have a special meaning to SAS, you should be aware
of the following reserved ddnames. These ddnames have a special meaning
to the operating environment:
specifies a private
catalog that the operating environment is to use instead of the system
catalog for the duration of the job (including jobs with more than
one job step).
performs the same function
as STEPLIB (described in
SAS Software Files) except that it can be used in a job
that has more than one job step.
specifies a private
library of cataloged procedures to be searched before the system library
of cataloged procedures is searched. See your on-site SAS support
personnel for information about whether the PROCLIB ddname convention
is used at your facility.
is used by some host
sort utilities.
is used by some host
sort utilities to print messages.
specifies sort work
data sets for the host sort utility. If allocated, this ddname is
used instead of the SASSWKnn data
sets.
specifies a private
catalog that the operating environment is to use instead of the system
catalog for the current job step.
in the event of an
abnormal job termination, SYSABEND specifies a data set that receives
a medium-sized dump that consists of user-allocated storage and modules,
system storage related to current tasks and open files, and system
and programs related to the terminated job. For more information,
see SYSMDUMP and SYSUDUMP below.
is used by TSO HELP
libraries (not the SAS HELP facility).
is used by some IBM
system utility programs.
in the event of an
abnormal job termination, SYSMDUMP specifies a data set that receives
a system dump in IPCS format. The contents of the dump are determined
by z/OS installation options, although SYSMDUMP generally includes
all user-allocated storage, all system-allocated storage used to control
job execution, and all program modules (system modules and user programs)
that were in use at the time the dump was taken.
is used by some utility
programs to identify an output data set.
is used by some utility
programs to identify a data set for listings and messages that might
be sent to the printer.
is used by some TSO
commands that might be invoked under SAS software.
in the event of an
abnormal job termination, SYSUDUMP specifies a data set that receives
a “short” system dump that consists of user-allocated
storage and modules and system storage related to current tasks and
open files. For more information, see SYSABEND and SYSMDUMP above.
is reserved for internal
use (for dynamic allocation) by the operating environment.
