The FSLIST Procedure |
The PROC FSLIST statement initiates the FSLIST procedure and specifies the external file to browse. Statement options enable you to modify the default behavior of the procedure.
PROC FSLIST Statement Requirements |
The PROC FSLIST statement must include one of the following arguments that specifies the external file to browse.
specifies the external file to browse. file-specification can be one of the following:
is the complete operating environment file specification (called the fully qualified pathname under some operating environments) for the external file. You must enclose the name in quotation marks.
is a fileref that has been previously assigned to the external file. You can use the FILENAME statement to associate a fileref with an actual filename. For information about the FILENAME statement, see the section on statements in SAS Language Reference: Dictionary.
defines the FORTRAN-style logical unit number of the external file to browse. This option is useful when the file to browse has a fileref of the form FTnnF001, where nn is the logical unit number that is specified in the UNIT= argument. For example, you can specify the following:
proc fslist unit=20;instead of
proc fslist fileref=ft20f001;
PROC FSLIST Statement Options |
The following options can be used with the PROC FSLIST statement:
controls how search strings for the FIND command are treated:
indicates whether carriage-control characters are used to format the display. You can specify one of the following values for this option:
Note: Under some operating environments, FORTRAN-style carriage control is the native carriage control. For these environments, the FORTCC and CC options produce the same behavior.
indicates the default horizontal scroll amount for the LEFT and RIGHT commands. The following values are valid:
n |
sets the default scroll amount to n columns. |
HALF |
sets the default scroll amount to half the window width. |
PAGE |
sets the default scroll amount to the full window width. |
The default is HSCROLL=HALF. You can use the HSCROLL command in the FSLIST window to change the default scroll amount.
suppresses the sides and bottom of the FSLIST window's border. When this option is used, text can appear in the columns and row that are normally occupied by the border.
controls the display of line sequence numbers in files that have a record length of 80 and contain sequence numbers in columns 73 through 80. NUM displays the line sequence numbers; NONUM suppresses them. The default is NONUM.
indicates whether the carriage-control code for overprinting is in effect:
OVP |
causes the procedure to honor the overprint code and print the current line over the previous line when the code is encountered. |
NOOVP |
causes the procedure to ignore the overprint code and print each line from the file on a separate line of the display. |
The default is NOOVP. The OVP option is ignored if the NOCC option is in effect.
