Syntax

HSLXTNTS=value

Details

The HSLXTNTS= option specifies the size in pages of each physical hiperspace that is created for a SAS library with the HIPERSPACE option in the LIBNAME statement or LIBNAME function. These physical hiperspaces are analogous to physical data set extents. When one is filled, another is obtained. They are logically combined internally to form a single logical hiperspace representing a library.
The value that you specify must be in the range 0 to 2,147,483,647. If you specify 0, SAS uses the value 1,800. Check with your system administrator for any site-specific maximum number of pages that you can have.
