SAS Data Set Options for the Information Maps Engine

Using Data Set Options

Data set options specify actions that apply only to the SAS data set with which they appear. Because the Information Maps engine makes the data from information maps appear as SAS data sets, you can use data set options with information maps that you access through the engine. You specify data set options in parentheses after the information map name in SAS programming statements. To specify several data set options, separate them with spaces. For example:

libref.information-map-name(option-1=value-1 < ... option-n=value-n>)
For more information about SAS data set options, see SAS Language Reference: Dictionary.

The following data set options for the Information Maps engine exist for the lifetime of the DATA step and override the LIBNAME option values when the option can be specified in both places.
