specifies an engine name.
The ENGINE= system option specifies which
default engine name is associated with a SAS library. The default engine is
used when a SAS library points to an empty directory or a new file. The default
engine is also used on directory-based systems, which can store more than
one SAS file type within a directory. For example, some operating environments
can store SAS files from multiple versions in the same directory.
Operating Environment Information: Valid engine names depend on your operating
environment. For details, see the SAS documentation for your operating environment.
