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. This action is 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 that is opened for update or accessed via another engine, it is ignored.
