CACHESIZ=integer

integer: can range from 0 to 65,024. By default, SAS uses a value that is an even multiple of the file's page size. If you specify a value of 0, SAS does not use a data cache. The default value is 65024.

Details

Pages of SAS files are cached in memory with each cache containing multiple pages. The CACHESIZ= system option controls the size (in bytes) of this data cache.
