Syntax Description

Syntax

SASSCRIPT=('location-1' 'location-2' ... 'location-n')

Syntax Description

'location': specifies the name of an aggregate storage location, such as PDS for OS/390, a maclib for CMS, or a directory for directory-based systems.

Details

The system option SASSCRIPT= uses the value of location to generate an internal fileref that is stored as the value of the SASFRSCR system option.

To specify one or more aggregate storage locations, enclose each location in quotation marks, use blanks to separate multiple locations, and place the entire specification in parenthesis.

After you specify the location of the script files with SASSCRIPT, you can do the following:

In an SCL program, you can use the fileref that is stored as the value of SASFRSCR to build a list of available scripts for establishing a link with SAS/CONNECT software.
In SAS/ASSIST software, when you use the REMOTE CONNECT item to edit a remote configuration, enter a question mark (?) in the SCRIPT field of the CREATE NEW CONFIGURATION submenu to display a list of script file names.
You can specify the script file with the CSCRIPT= option, and if the script file is not found in the current directory, then it will be looked for in the SASSCRIPT directory.
