SAS Companion for the OpenVMS Operating Environment

Displaying Information about External Files

As in other operating environments, you can use the following form of the FILENAME statement under OpenVMS to list the attributes of all the external files that are assigned for your current SAS process:

FILENAME _ALL_ LIST;

You can use the FINFO function or the SAS Explorer window to see information about your currently assigned external files. For details, see FINFO.

In both cases, OpenVMS logical names that you have assigned to external files are also listed, but only after you have used them as filerefs in your current SAS process.
