Peter,
You are correct, the feature is also available for S/390, but its
implementation looks rather kludgy:
1 filename x 'pgm=sasreadc' pgmparm='work.include.inc.source';
2 data _null_;
3 file x;
4 put "put ':-) ;-) :-( ;-(';";
5 run;
WARNING: This is an experimental version
which will be replaced by XX AMS in Version 7
NOTE: The file X is:
(no system-specific pathname available),
(no system-specific file attributes available)
NOTE: 1 record was written to the file X.
The minimum record length was 22.
The maximum record length was 22.
NOTE: The DATA statement used 0.02 CPU seconds and 3608K.
6 filename d 'pgm=sasreadc' pgmparm='work.include.inc.source';
7 data _null_;
8 %include d;
WARNING: This is an experimental version
which will be replaced by XX AMS in Version 7
10 run;
:-) ;-) :-( ;-(
NOTE: The DATA statement used 0.01 CPU seconds and 3294K.
I am not at all sure whether or for what reason I should prefer all this
stuff to the simple and bulletproof
19 filename t '&t';
20 data _null_;
21 file t;
22 put "put ':-) ;-) :-( ;-(';";
23 run;
NOTE: The file T is:
Dsname=SYS00062.T154114.RA000.UUNVP2D.T.H02,
Unit=3390,Volume=SSHR98,Disp=NEW,Blksize=27920,
Lrecl=80,Recfm=FB
NOTE: 1 record was written to the file T.
NOTE: The DATA statement used 0.02 CPU seconds and 3317K.
24 data _null_;
25 %include t;
27 run;
:-) ;-) :-( ;-(
Maybe in V8 it looks much more elegant, but I won't be able to tell until
after April, unless some kind sasoul will share the already acquired V8
wisdom.
P.S. It just occurred to me that there are notable distinctions between
"sashole", "sasoul", "sashaul", and "sasole", do not you think? Just a side
note.
Kind regards,
