Starting with 9.3, stored process source code can be stored in
metadata. If the code is not stored in metadata, then stored processes
are stored in external files with a
.sas extension.
The
.sas file must reside in a directory
that is registered with the server that executes the stored process.
These directories are known as
source code repositories. Source code repositories are managed using the
New
Stored Process wizard or the
Stored Process
Properties dialog box in SAS Management Console. After
you choose a server for your stored process in the
New
Stored Process wizard or in the
Stored Process
Properties dialog box, you can choose whether to store
the source code in metadata (starting with 9.3) or on the server.
If you store the source code on the server, you are presented with
a list of available source code repositories. You can choose an existing
source code repository or click
Manage to
add or modify source code repositories.
For
z/OS, the program
can be contained in an HFS
.sas file or in
a member of a partitioned data set (PDS). Source code repositories
can be either HFS directories or a partitioned data set.
