The SCAPROC Procedure

Results: SCAPROC Procedure

The following list contains explanations of the comments that the SAS Code Analyzer writes to the record file that you specify with PROC SCAPROC. The output comments are bounded by /* and */ comment tags in the record file. That format is represented here to enhance clarity when the user reads a record file.

/* JOBSPLIT: DATASET INPUT|OUTPUT|UPDATE SEQ|MULTI name */

specifies that a data set was opened for reading, writing, or updating.

INPUT: specifies that SAS read the data set.
OUTPUT: specifies that SAS wrote the data set.
UPDATE: specifies that SAS updated the data set.
SEQ: specifies that SAS opened the data set for sequential access.
MULTI: specifies that SAS opened the data set for multipass access.
name: specifies the name of the data set.

/* JOBSPLIT: CATALOG INPUT|OUTPUT|UPDATE name */

specifies that a catalog was opened for reading, writing, or updating.

INPUT: specifies that SAS read the catalog.
OUTPUT: specifies that SAS wrote the catalog.
UPDATE: specifies that SAS updated the catalog.
name: specifies the name of the catalog.

/* JOBSPLIT: FILE INPUT|OUTPUT|UPDATE name */

specifies that an external file was opened for reading, writing, or updating.

INPUT: specifies that SAS read the file.
OUTPUT: specifies that SAS wrote the file.
UPDATE: specifies that SAS updated the file.
name: specifies the name of the file.

/* JOBSPLIT: ITEMSTOR INPUT|OUTPUT|UPDATE name */

specifies that an ITEMSTOR was opened for reading, writing, or updating.

INPUT: specifies that SAS read the ITEMSTOR.
OUTPUT: specifies that SAS wrote the ITEMSTOR.
UPDATE: specifies that SAS updated the ITEMSTOR.
name: specifies the name of the ITEMSTOR.

/* JOBSPLIT: OPENTIME name DATE:date PHYS:phys SIZE:size */

specifies that a data set was opened for input. SAS outputs the OPENTIME and the SIZE of the file.

name: specifies the name of the data set.
DATE: specifies the date and time that the data set was opened. The value that is returned for DATE is not the creation time of the file.
PHYS: specifies the complete physical name of the data set that was opened.
SIZE: specifies the size of the data set in bytes.

/* JOBSPLIT: ATTR name INPUT|OUTPUT VARIABLE:variable name TYPE:CHARACTER|NUMERIC LENGTH:length LABEL:label FORMAT:format INFORMAT:informat */

specifies that when a data set is closed, SAS reopens it and outputs the attributes of each variable. One ATTR line is produced for each variable.

name: specifies the name of the data set.
INPUT: specifies that SAS read the data set.
OUTPUT: specifies that SAS wrote the data set.
VARIABLE: specifies the name of the current variable.
TYPE: specifies whether the variable is character or numeric.
LENGTH: specifies the length of the variable in bytes.
LABEL: specifies the variable label if it has one.
FORMAT: specifies the variable format if it has one.
INFORMAT: specifies the variable informat if it has one.

/* JOBSPLIT: SYMBOL SET|GET name */

specifies that a macro symbol was accessed.

SET

specifies that SAS set the symbol. For example, SAS set the symbol sym1 in the following code:

%let sym1=sym2

GET

specifies that SAS retrieved the symbol. For example, SAS retrieved the symbol sym in the following code:

a="&sym"

name

specifies the name of the symbol.

/* JOBSPLIT: ELAPSED number */

specifies a number for you to use to determine the relative run times of tasks.

number: specifies a number for you to use to determine the relative run times of tasks.

/* JOBSPLIT: USER useroption */

specifies that SAS uses the USER option with the grid job code to enable single-level data set names to reside in the WORK library.

useroption: specifies the value that is to be used while the code is running.

/* JOBSPLIT: _DATA_ */

specifies that SAS is to use the reserved data set name _DATA_.

/* JOBSPLIT: _LAST_ */

specifies that SAS is to use the reserved data set name _LAST_ .

/* JOBSPLIT: PROCNAME procname|DATASTEP */

specifies the name of the SAS procedure or DATA step for this step.

/* JOBSPLIT: LIBNAME <libname options> */

specifies the LIBNAME options that were provided on a LIBNAME statement or were set internally.

/* JOBSPLIT: CONCATMEM <libref> <libname> */

specifies the name of a concatenated library that contains a specified libref.
