SAS calls this external program every time it needs a new SAS input statement. The PGMPARM= option enables you to pass a parameter to the program that you specify with the SYSINP= option. For more information about the PGMPARM option, see PGMPARM= System Option: z/OS.
The SYSINP= option overrides the SYSIN= system option.
