The following list explains
some of the components of the %INCLUDE statement. See
SAS Language Reference: Dictionary for the complete
syntax information.
- source
- describes the location of the information
that you want to access with the %INCLUDE statement. The three possible sources
follow:
- file-specification
- Under OS/390, this can be a fileref or a
physical file name enclosed in quotes.
- internal-lines
- You can access lines that were entered earlier
in the same SAS job or session. In order to use this technique in a line mode
session, the SAS system option SPOOL must be in effect.
- keyboard-entry
- You can enter the statements or data lines
directly from the terminal. Use an asterisk (*) to indicate that the statements
are to come from the terminal.
-
SOURCE2
- causes the SAS log to show the source statements
that are being included in your SAS program. In other words, this option has
the same effect as the SAS system option SOURCE2, except that it applies only
to the records that you are currently including. Specifying SOURCE2 in the
%INCLUDE statement works even if the NOSOURCE2 system option is in effect.
-
S2=length
- specifies the length of the record to be
used for input. Possible values are
| S |
sets S2 equal to the current setting
of the SAS system option S=. |
| 0 |
tells SAS to use the setting of the
SAS system option SEQ= to determine whether the line contains a sequence field.
If the line does contain a sequence field, SAS determines the line length
by excluding the sequence field from the total length. |
| n |
indicates which columns SAS should
scan and which columns, if any, contain sequence numbers that should be ignored.
n specifies the column in which to start scanning (for variable-length
records) or stop scanning (for fixed-length records). |
If the source lines in an external file that you are
including contain sequence numbers, then either delete them before including
the SAS program in your SAS session, or specify S2=0.
-
JCLEXCL
- ignores any lines of JCL in the included
source.
