Product-Specific Details

SAS for z/OS


Installation Change

The default directory path where SAS is installed has changed to the following location:

SASROOT = /<customer specified UFS root>/<customer.mvs.prefix>/SASFoundation/9.2/
SASHOME = /<customer specified UFS root>/<customer.mvs.prefix/
UFSROOT = /<customer specified UFS root>/


The BLKSIZE(device-type)= System Option

The BLKSIZE(device-type)= system option has a default value of HALF, instead of 6144. HALF corresponds to the largest efficient block size that is supported by SAS and standard access methods. For more information, see "The BLKSIZE(device-type) System Option" in SAS Companion for z/OS.


The WORKTERM System Option

The WORKTERM system option specifies whether SAS erases WORK files at the termination of a SAS session. NOWORKTERM is still the default value for work libraries that reside in a bound library, but WORKTERM is the default value for libraries that reside in a UFS directory. For more information, see "The WORKTERM System Option" in SAS Companion for z/OS.
