Overview

The SAS Data File class defines an object-oriented interface to SAS data files and SAS data views. A SAS Data File object corresponds to a SAS data file or a SAS data view and contains information about the data file or data view, including its name, its type, its associated SAS library, a list of its attributes, and a list of its variables. Each item in the list of members for a SAS Data File object describes a SAS data file or data view variable.

Note:   In this class, the term SAS data file refers to both SAS data files and SAS data views.  [cautionend]
