- library-specification
-
identifies a location that contains library members that
contain a SAS macro definition. A location can be a SAS fileref or a host-specific
location name enclosed in quotation marks. Each member contains a SAS macro
definition.
- (library-specification-1 . . . , library-specification-n)
-
identifies two or more locations that contain library members
that contain a SAS macro definition. A location can be a SAS fileref or a
host-specific location name enclosed in quotation marks. When you specify
two or more autocall libraries, enclose the specifications in parentheses
and separate them with either a comma or a blank space.
When SAS searches for an autocall macro definition, it
opens and searches each location in the same order that it is specified in
the SASAUTOS option. If SAS cannot open any specified location, it generates
a warning message and sets the NOMAUTOSOURCE system option on. To use the
autocall facility again in the same SAS session, you must specify the MAUTOSOURCE
option again.

Operating Environment Information: You
specify a source library by using a fileref or by enclosing the host-specific
location name in quotation marks. A valid library specification and its syntax
are host specific. Although the syntax is generally consistent with the command-line
syntax of your operating environment, it might include additional or alternate
punctuation. For details, see the SAS documentation for your operating environment. ![[cautionend]](../../../../common/63294/HTML/default/images/cautend.gif)
Operating Environment Information for z/OS and UNIX Users: You can use the APPEND
or INSERT system options to add additional library-specification. For details, see the documentation for the APPEND and INSERT
system options under UNIX and z/OS. ![[cautionend]](../../../../common/63294/HTML/default/images/cautend.gif)
