Syntax
SYSIN=file-specification | NOSYSIN
Required Arguments
- file-specification
-
identifies an external
file. Under z/OS, it can be a valid ddname, a physical filename,
or the name of a file stored in the directory structure of UNIX System
Services. The ddname must have been previously associated with an
external file using either a TSO ALLOCATE command or a JCL DD statement.
- NOSYSIN
-
disables SYSIN, as
if the file-specification were
blank. This option is useful for testing your autoexec file. It invokes
SAS in batch mode and processes your autoexec file. SAS exits after
your autoexec file is processed.
Details
This option is applicable
when you run SAS programs in noninteractive or batch mode. SYSIN=
is overridden by SYSINP= if a value for SYSINP= has been specified.
