Specifies individual files or entries to import.
| Interaction: |
You can use either EXCLUDE statements or
SELECT statements in a PROC CIMPORT step, but not both.
|
| Tip: |
There is no limit to the number of SELECT statements
you can use in one invocation of PROC CIMPORT.

Importing Individual Catalog Entries
|
|
SELECT SAS file(s) | catalog entry(s)</ MEMTYPE=mtype></
ENTRYTYPE=entry-type>;
|
- SAS file(s) | catalog entry(s)
-
specifies one or more SAS files or one or more catalog entries
to import. Specify SAS filenames if you import a library; specify catalog
entry names if you import an individual SAS catalog. Separate multiple filenames
or entry names with a space. You can use shortcuts to list many like-named
files in the SELECT statement. For more information, see Shortcuts for Specifying Lists of Variable Names.
- ENTRYTYPE=entry-type
-
specifies a single entry type for one or more catalog entries
that are listed in the SELECT statement. See
SAS Language Reference: Concepts for a complete list of
catalog entry types.
| Alias: |
ETYPE=, ET= |
| Restriction: |
ENTRYTYPE= is valid only when you
import an individual SAS catalog. |
- MEMTYPE=mtype
-
specifies a single member type for one or more SAS files
listed in the SELECT statement. Valid values are CATALOG or CAT, DATA, or
ALL.
You can also specify the MEMTYPE= option, enclosed in parentheses, immediately
after the name of a file. In parentheses, MEMTYPE= identifies the type of
the filename that just precedes it. When you use this form of the option,
it overrides the MEMTYPE= option that follows the slash in the SELECT statement,
but it must match the MEMTYPE= option in the PROC CIMPORT statement.
| Restriction: |
MEMTYPE= is valid only when you
import a SAS library. |
| Alias: |
MTYPE=, MT= |
| Default: |
ALL |
