Data Set Options under OpenVMS

OUTREP= Data Set Option: OpenVMS

Specifies the data representation for the output SAS data set.

Valid in:	DATA step, PROC step, LIBNAME statement
Engines:	V9, V8, V7, V9TAPE, V8TAPE, V7TAPE
Category:	Data Set Control
OpenVMS specifics:	Enables you to create SAS data sets for file access between OpenVMS on HP Integrity Servers, VAX, and ALPHA operating environments; the CONCUR engine ignores the OUTREP= data set option

Details

Using Cross-Environment Data Access (CEDA), SAS can process SAS data sets that were created in another environment, or it can create SAS data sets that will be run in another environment. Use the OUTREP= data set option to specify the environment where the output data set is to run.

To create SAS data sets for other OpenVMS environments, use these data representations:

CEDA Data Representations for OpenVMS
Data Representation	Environment
ALPHA_VMS_32	OpenVMS on Alpha
ALPHA_VMS_64	OpenVMS on Alpha (64-bit compatibility)
VAX_VMS	OpenVMS VAX
VMS_IA64	OpenVMS on HP Integrity Servers
