-
n
-
specifies any integer greater than or equal
to 0 in terms of bytes. If n > 0, SAS places up to that number
of open-file descriptors in cache memory instead of closing the catalogs.
-
hexX
-
specifies the number of open-file descriptors
that are kept in cache memory as a hexadecimal number. You must specify the
value beginning with a number (0-9), followed by hexadecimal characters
(0-9, A-F), and then followed by an X. For example, the value
2dx sets the number of catalogs to keep open to 45 catalogs.
-
MAX
-
sets the number of open-file descriptors
that are kept in cache memory to the largest, signed, 4-byte integer that
is representable in your operating environment.
Note: The recommended
maximum setting for this option is 10. ![[cautionend]](../../../../common/63294/HTML/default/images/cautend.gif)
-
MIN
-
sets the number of open-file descriptors
that are kept in cache memory to 0.
By using the CATCACHE= system option to
specify the number of SAS catalogs to keep open, you can avoid the repeated
opening and closing the same catalogs.
Note: If MINSTG is in effect, then SAS sets the value of CATCACHE
to 0. ![[cautionend]](../../../../common/63294/HTML/default/images/cautend.gif)
