VAXRBw.d Informat

Reads real binary (floating-point) data in VMS format.

Category:	Numeric
Interaction:	List input is incompatible with binary input when this informat is specified in an INFORMAT= statement or an ATTRIB= statement using the INFORMAT= argument. SAS issues a warning and uses formatted input to read the data.

Syntax

VAXRBw.d

specifies the width of the input field.

Default	4
Range	2–8

specifies the power of 10 by which to divide the value. This argument is optional.

Range

0–10

Use the VAXRBw.d informat to read floating-point data from VMS files on other operating environments.

If you use SAS that is running under VMS, the VAXRBw.d and the RBw.d informats are identical.
