- Subject: Concatenating format catalogs under 6.07
- Does anyone know how to access more than one format catalog under
- SAS 6.07 in the same SAS session or job? Under MVS SAS 5.18 you
- were able to concatenate the format libraries in the JCL. Can you
- concatenate 6.07 format catalogs in MVS? What about CMS? I
- **don't** want to have to use PROC CATALOG to copy the format
- entries to the WORK format catalog. I have not been able to find
- anything in Language, Procedures, Language and Procedures,
- Companion for CMS or Companion for MVS.
-
- Any clue?
- ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
- somewhere, (in a galaxy far, far away,) I remember reading that you can
- access multiple sets of formats stored in different SAS libraries by using
- several LIBNAME statements with the same libref=LIBRARY:
-
- LIBNAME LIBRARY '<SAS-data-lib-1>';
- <use formats>;
- run;
- LIBNAME LIBRARY '<SAS-data-lib-2>';
- <use formats>;
- run;
- ...
- LIBNAME LIBRARY '<SAS-data-lib-n>';
- <use formats>;
- endSAS;
-
- check your proc FORMAT information:
- SAS Proc Guide,V6 pg 280: Storing Formats and Informats
- pg 295-6: Temporary and Permanent Formats and Informats
