Using the Output Delivery System in the DATA Step

Overview

Within the DATA step itself, the ODS option in the FILE statement and the _ODS_ option in the PUT statement provide connections with the Output Delivery System. You use both of these connections to route the results of a DATA step to ODS. By default, when the DATA step uses ODS, ODS writes output objects to all open ODS destinations and places links to them in the Results folder. You can use global ODS statements (see The ODS Statements) to write to other ODS destinations.
