Sizes buffers in server memory for the network data packet.

Valid in: SPD Server
Default: 32K
Interaction: Corresponding table option is NETPACKSIZE=.

Syntax

SPDSNETP=size-of-packet

Required Argument

Details

When sizing the buffer for data packet transfer between SPD Server and your SAS client machine, the packet must be greater than or equal in size to one table row. For more information, see NETPACKSIZE= Table Option.

Example

Despite recent upgrades to your network connections, you are experiencing significant pauses when the server transfers data. You want to resize the data packet to send three rows at a time for a more continuous data flow.
Specify a buffer size in server memory that is three times the row size (6144 bytes). Submit your SPDSNETP macro variable statement at the top of your job.
