Developing Java Clients |
A service for manipulating files and filerefs in a SAS Workspace.
This component provides access to the files and filerefs that are accessible to a SAS Workspace. Each workspace has a single file service, which can be found in its FileService attribute.
The FileService and the related Fileref, FileInfo, BinaryStream and TextStream interfaces are implemented by the underlying Multi-Vendor Architecture of the SAS System so that the same interfaces can be supported on different host platforms. If you avoid host-specific assumptions in your code, you can write client applications that will operate correctly across different types of host filesystems.
While you can list and manage files and filerefs through this interface, you use the Fileref interface to read or write the data itself. Furthermore, there are no interfaces that manipulate physical files directly. In order to read from or write to a file, you must first create a fileref.
Users of the FileService should be familiar with SAS files and filerefs. Note that an "Access Method" and a "Device" are synonymous; the FileService uses the term "Access Method."

CORBA Enum AssignmentContext |
Indicates how a fileref assignment was made.
Description
This enumeration indicates how a fileref assignment was made.
Usage
Member | Description |
---|---|
AssignmentContextRegular | A user created the name and assignment. Filerefs created by the FILENAME statement are in this category, as are ones created by the AssignFileref operation when you pass a non-empty AssignFileref::requestedName parameter. |
AssignmentContextTemporary | The fileref name was generated by the system; often as a result of a
user action.
Since temporary filerefs are programming mechanisms, not user-chosen logical names, it often better to suppress them when presenting lists of filerefs back to a user. |
AssignmentContextSystem | The SAS System created this fileref through a host-specific mechanism such as a DD statement under OS/390 or an environment variable on Unix. |

CORBA Attribute Parent (readonly) |
The workspace containing this file service.
Description
This attribute allows you to navigate back to the Workspace of
this FileService component.
All files and filerefs accessed through this service are those
visible in the parent workspace.
Usage
Java Method Parent |
public IWorkspace Parent ();
CORBA Method ListFiles |
Lists all files in a directory.
Description
This operation lists all files in the specified directory.
It returns six output arrays.
The ListFiles::fieldInclusionMask parameter
indicates which of the individual output arrays are filled by the call.
A filled output array contains one element
for each file in the directory.
Thus, all the filled output
arrays are the same size and the complete information
about a particular file in the directoy
is available from the corresponding (same
index) elements of each array.
When an output array is not filled, it contains zero elements on return
from the call.
The semantics of this operation are based on the model of a hierarchical, directory-based filesystem as popularized by Unix and adopted by PC operating systems. For some host filesystems, notably mainframes, the native filesystems do not conform to this model. In these cases, the SAS System provides an emulation of a hierarchical, directory-based system.
For the SAS System under OS/390, this method has only experimental status. Its behaviour may change in future releases.
Usage
Java Method ListFiles |
void
ListFiles (
java.lang.String path , ListFilesMode mode , boolean[] fieldInclusionMask , org.omg.CORBA.StringHolder listedPath , StringSeqHolder names , StringSeqHolder typenames , TypeCategorySeqHolder typeCategories , IntSeqHolder sizes , LongSeqHolder modtimes , StringSeqHolder engines ) throws ( InvalidFieldMask, GenericError );
Parameter Details
Parameter | Direction | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
path | in | java.lang.String | This parameter is used together with the ListFiles::mode parameter to determine which directory is listed. |
mode | in | ListFilesMode | One of the ListFilesMode enumeration values. |
fieldInclusionMask | in | boolean[] | This input parameter determines which of the six array
output parameters are filled by the call.
You must supply an array of either zero or
six (ListFilesIndexNumIndices) elements.
The simplest approach is to supply a zero-element array for the mask. If you do this, then all of the output arrays will be filled. You can make the call more efficient by indicating which output parameters need to be filled and which don't. The potential efficiency improvement is partly a result of reduced network traffic, but comes primarily from reducing the amount of work required on the server. If you supply a six-element mask array, then each element indicates whether or not the corresponding output parameter will be filled by the call. The correspondence between mask array elements and output parameters is defined by the ListFilesIndex enumeration. If, for example, you don't need the file modification times, then you should set mask[ListFilesIndexModTimes] to false. |
listedPath | out | org.omg.CORBA.StringHolder | Returns the name of the directory selected by the ListFiles::path
and ListFiles::mode.
Note that the returned value of this output parameter will only be the same directory as the ListFiles::path parameter when you to set ListFiles::mode to ListFilesModePath. |
names | out | StringSeqHolder | This array output parameter returns the names of all files
and directories in the requested directory.
These names are "short names" in that the
full pathname is not provided.
The names
do include any extension (such as ".sas").
In order to create a full pathname, combine the returned ListFiles::listedPath parameter with an entry in this array using FullName. |
typenames | out | StringSeqHolder | Indicates the type of each file. It will be blank for subdirectories.
This should be used in conjunction with the following parameter (ListFiles::typeCategories). |
typeCategories | out | TypeCategorySeqHolder | The elements of this array output parameter define the interpretation of the corresponding elements in the output array of type names. See TypeCategory for details. |
sizes | out | IntSeqHolder | The number of bytes in each file or subdirectory.
Note that the meaning of this parameter is host-dependent and does not necessarily correspond to the size of the contents of the directory. |
modtimes | out | LongSeqHolder | The last-modified time for each file or subdirectory, generally in
terms of local time.
A particular local time value may be based on the time zone of the SAS IOM server, or it may be the local time of the computer that stored the timestamp. There is no way to determine whose local time is represented. Besides geography, time zone is also set by Daylight Savings Time changes. Thus, the same computer can read and write timestamps in different time zones in different parts of the year. For some files on some hosts, it may be possible to retrieve a date, but not time-of-day. In some other cases, even the date may be unknown. For unknown dates, the SAS System base date of midnight, January 1 1960 will generally be returned. Given the number of filesystems with which SAS Software interacts, the accuracy of this datetime may vary. |
engines | out | StringSeqHolder | Returns the SAS library engine associated with each SAS file in a SAS data library. If the file is not a member of a SAS data library, the engine value will be an empty string. |
CORBA Method DeleteFile |
Deletes a file or directory.
Description
Usage
Java Method DeleteFile |
void
DeleteFile (
java.lang.String path ) throws ( GenericError );
Parameter Details
Parameter | Direction | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
path | in | java.lang.String | If the file was located using ListFiles, then you should use FullName to form the path. |
CORBA Method MakeDirectory |
Creates a new directory.
Description
This operation creates a new directory.
The call combines the input parameters to create the
full pathname of the directory to be created and then
returns that full path.
Note that not all access methods support the creation of a directory.
Usage
Java Method MakeDirectory |
java.lang.String
MakeDirectory (
java.lang.String parentDirectory , java.lang.String directoryName ) throws ( GenericError );
Parameter Details
Parameter | Direction | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
parentDirectory | in | java.lang.String | The operating system-dependent full pathname of the directory that is to contain the new directory. |
directoryName | in | java.lang.String | The name of the new directory. |
CORBA Method RenameFile |
Renames an existing file or directory.
Description
This operation renames an existing file or directory.
Usage
Java Method RenameFile |
void
RenameFile (
java.lang.String oldPath , java.lang.String newPath ) throws ( GenericError );
Parameter Details
Parameter | Direction | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
oldPath | in | java.lang.String | The full pathname of the existing file or directory that is to be renamed. For best operation with servers on different operating systems, if the file was located using ListFiles, then you should use FullName to form the path. |
newPath | in | java.lang.String | The full pathname of the new file or directory. For best operation with servers on different operating systems, if the new file name will be created by combining a "short name" with a directory located using ListFiles, then you should use FullName to form the path. |
CORBA Method FullName |
Returns the full pathname given a file name and directory name.
Description
This operation returns the full pathname given a file name and directory name.
It accommodates the fact that not all host platforms
and filesystems use the same syntax for indicating
directory hierarchy relationships.
This operation is typically called to create a full pathname from one of the names returned from ListFiles.
For the SAS System under OS/390, this method has only experimental status. Its behaviour may change in future releases.
Usage
Java Method FullName |
java.lang.String
FullName (
java.lang.String shortName , java.lang.String parentName ) throws ( GenericError );
Parameter Details
Parameter | Direction | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
shortName | in | java.lang.String | The name of the file or directory that needs to be combined into a full pathname. |
parentName | in | java.lang.String | A pathname of the directory to contain the shortName. |
CORBA Method SplitName |
Breaks a pathname into a directory and member. Useful for creating a libname.
Description
Break a pathname into a directory and member.
For the SAS System under OS/390, this method has only experimental status. Its behaviour may change in future releases.
Usage
Java Method SplitName |
void
SplitName (
java.lang.String path , org.omg.CORBA.StringHolder shortName , org.omg.CORBA.StringHolder parentName ) throws ( GenericError );
Parameter Details
Parameter | Direction | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
path | in | java.lang.String | The operating system-dependent pathname that needs to be broken out into the containing directory and the contained file or subdirectory. |
shortName | out | org.omg.CORBA.StringHolder | The returned file or subdirectory that is specified by SplitName::path. |
parentName | out | org.omg.CORBA.StringHolder | The returned directory that contains SplitName::shortName. |
CORBA Method ListFilerefs |
Returns a list of all assigned filerefs on the current SAS Workspace.
Description
This operation
returns information about the assigned filerefs in the Workspace.
It returns four output arrays.
The ListFilerefs::fieldInclusionMask parameter
indicates which of the individual output arrays are filled by the call.
A filled output array contains one element
for each fileref in the workspace.
Thus, all the filled output
arrays are the same size and the complete information
about a particular fileref is available from the corresponding (same
index) elements of each array.
When an output array is not filled, it contains zero elements on return
from the call.
In the case of a concatenated fileref, multiple entries for the same fileref will be returned, corresponding to each concatenated member.
Usage
Note that there is not enough information returned in this method to
fully recreate the original fileref; the original options are not available.
Java Method ListFilerefs |
void
ListFilerefs (
boolean[] fieldInclusionMask , StringSeqHolder names , AssignmentContextSeqHolder assignmentContexts , StringSeqHolder paths , StringSeqHolder accessMethods ) throws ( InvalidFieldMask, GenericError );
Parameter Details
Parameter | Direction | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
fieldInclusionMask | in | boolean[] | This input parameter determines which of the four array
output parameters are filled by the call.
You must supply an array of either zero or
four (ListFilerefsIndexNumIndices) elements.
The simplest approach is to supply a zero-element array for the mask. If you do this, then all of the output arrays will be filled. You can make the call a little more efficient by indicating which output parameters need to be filled and which don't. If you supply a four-element mask array, then each element indicates whether or not the corresponding output parameter will be filled by the call. The correspondence between mask array elements and output parameters is defined by the ListFilerefsIndex enumeration. If, for example, you don't need the access method names, then you should set mask[ListFilerefsIndexAccessMethods] to false.
|
names | out | StringSeqHolder | The name of each fileref assigned in the workspace. |
assignmentContexts | out | AssignmentContextSeqHolder | This array output parameter
indicates how each fileref was assigned.
See AssignmentContext for details.
Do not rely on the naming scheme for temporary filerefs; these can change between hosts and between releases of the SAS System. |
paths | out | StringSeqHolder | Indicates the pathname associated with each fileref. |
accessMethods | out | StringSeqHolder | Indicates the accessMethod (also called device by some documentation) that was used when each fileref was created. |
CORBA Method AssignFileref |
Assign a SAS fileref.
Description
This operation assigns a fileref in a manner analogous
to the SAS language FILENAME statement.
This call creates and returns a Fileref component to
represent the new fileref.
Usage
Java Method AssignFileref |
public IFileref
AssignFileref (
java.lang.String requestedName , java.lang.String accessMethodOrDevice , java.lang.String externalFile , java.lang.String hostOptions , org.omg.CORBA.StringHolder assignedName ) throws ( GenericError );
Parameter Details
Parameter | Direction | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
requestedName | in | java.lang.String | The name to use for this fileref.
This should be 8 or fewer characters. If you pass in an empty string, an access method value of "TEMP", then the call will create a temporary file. |
accessMethodOrDevice | in | java.lang.String | Indicates the access method that will handle fileref.
You can use PROC NICKNAME to get a list of all access methods supported on your host. Different hosts support a different set of access methods. |
externalFile | in | java.lang.String | The file or directory (or access method-specific string) with which to associate the fileref. Note that this can be a concatenated list of files using the same syntax as in the SAS language FILENAME statement. |
hostOptions | in | java.lang.String | The options to use when creating the fileref. Most of these are specific to the host or access method. |
assignedName | out | org.omg.CORBA.StringHolder | Returns the assignedName. The assignedName will differ from the requested name when a temporary fileref is requested. |
CORBA Method DeassignFileref |
Deassigns a fileref.
Description
This operation deassigns the specified fileref.
and destroys the associated fileref object.
It is analogous to the FILENAME CLEAR statement
in the SAS language.
Usage
Java Method DeassignFileref |
void
DeassignFileref (
java.lang.String name ) throws ( GenericError );
Parameter Details
Parameter | Direction | Type | Description |

been assigned within the SAS Workspace and you are
simply trying to retieve the Fileref component.
If you need to perform the assignment first, call
AssignFileref.
Java Method UseFileref |
public IFileref
UseFileref (
java.lang.String name ) throws ( GenericError );
Parameter Details
Parameter | Direction | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
name | in | java.lang.String | The name of the previously assigned fileref to obtain. An error will occur if the requested fileref has not been previously assigned. |
