Syntax

SORTWKDD=prefix

prefix: is a four-character, valid operating environment name, which must begin with a letter or a national character ($, #, or @), followed by letters, national characters, or digits.

Details

The SORTWKDD= option specifies the prefix to be used to generate the DDnames for the sort work files if SAS or the host sort utility dynamically allocates them (see DYNALLOC). The DDnames will be of the form prefixWKnn, where nn can be in the range of 01 to the value of the SORTWKNO= option, which is usually 3 and cannot exceed 6.
