SAS Notes V6-SYS.SASIO-G030
XTENDLIB Statement no longer recommended


The XTENDLIB statement was introduced in Release 6.08 of the SAS System as an experimental (i.e. unsupported) feature to logically combine multiple data sets to form a single SAS data library. There have been no fixes applied to this feature since its introduction. Since Version 7 addresses the multivolume SAS library requirements that were the reason for developing XTENDLIB, Technical Support no longer recommends the use of the XTENDLIB statement. Furthermore, XTENDLIB is not available in Version 7 of the SAS System.
