SAS Companion for the OS/390 Environment

Introduction

External files are files whose format is determined by the operating environment rather than by the SAS System. External files include raw data files, JCL libraries, files that contain SAS programming statements, load libraries, and HFS files, which are part of UNIX System Services. In batch and noninteractive line modes, the SAS log and procedure output files are also external files.
