Specifies one or more
interval name and value pairs, where the
value is a SAS data set that contains user-supplied holidays. The interval
can be used as an argument to the INTNX and INTCK functions.
Valid in: |
configuration file, SAS invocation, OPTIONS
statement, SAS System Options window

Requirement: |
The set of interval-value pairs must be
enclosed in parentheses.
|
INTERVALDS=(interval-1=libref.dataset-name-1
<interval-n=libref.dataset-name-n>)
|
- interval
-
specifies the name of an interval. The value of interval is the data set that is named in libref.dataset-name.
Requirement: |
When you specify multiple intervals,
the interval name must not be the same as another interval. |
- libref.dataset-name
-
specifies the libref and the data set name of the file that
contains user-supplied holidays.
The INTCK and INTNX functions specify interval as the interval name in the function argument list to reference
a data set that names user-supplied intervals.
The same libref.dataset-name can be assigned
to different intervals. An error occurs when more than one interval of the same name is defined for the INTERVALDS system
option.
This example assigns a single data set to an interval
on the SAS command line or in a configuration file.
-intervalds (mycompany=mycompany.holidays)
The next example assigns multiple intervals using the OPTIONS statement.
The intervals subsid1 and subsid2 are assigned the same libref and data set
name.
options intervalds=(mycompany=mycompany.holidays subsid1=subsid.holidays subsid2=subsid.holidays);
