SORTWKDD=prefix

Required Argument

prefix: is a four-character, valid operating environment name, which must begin with a letter or a special character ($, #, or @), followed by letters, national characters, or digits. SORT is not a valid value for SORTWKDD. SAS issues an error message if you issue SORTWKDD=SORT.

Details

The SORTWKDD= option specifies the prefix to be used to generate the ddnames for the sort work files if SAS or the host sort utility dynamically allocates them. For more information, see DYNALLOC System Option: z/OS. The ddnames are of the form prefixWKnn, where nn can be in the range of 01 to the value of the SORTWKNO= option, which has a default value of 3 and a range of 0-99.
