TOBSNO=n

Syntax Description

n
specifies the number of observations to be transmitted.

Details

If the TOBSNO= option is not specified, its value is calculated based on the observation length and the size of the server's transmission buffers, as specified by the PROC SERVER statement TBUFSIZE= option.
The TOBSNO= option is valid only for data sets that are accessed through a SAS server via the REMOTE engine. If this option is specified for a data set opened for update or accessed via another engine, it is ignored.
