Syntax
Required Arguments
- DYNALLOC
-
specifies that the
host sort utility supports dynamic allocation of any necessary work
files. Therefore, SAS does not attempt to allocate them.
- NODYNALLOC
-
specifies that SAS
allocates sort work files. This specification might be necessary if
the host sort utility does not support allocation. Some sort programs
do not reallocate previously allocated work files even if the space
requirements are greater.
