| ENGINE=engine-name |
| Details |
The ENGINE= system option specifies which default engine name is associated with a SAS data library. The default engine is used when a SAS data library points to an empty directory or a new file. The default engine is also used on directory-based systems, which can store more than one SAS file type within a directory. For example, some operating environments can store SAS files from multiple versions in the same directory.
Operating Environment Information: Valid
engine names depend on your operating environment. For details, see the SAS
documentation for your operating environment. ![[cautionend]](../common/images/cautend.gif)
