- *******************************************************************
- David was trying to use DATA steps to write multiple SAS datasets
- in transport format to disk. Only the LAST dataset written remained
- (see note below).
-
- The key is the DISP=OLD processing that SAS is doing. SAS writes
- each new transport dataset at the beginning of the file. Change
- either the DISP= to DISP=MOD or add the MOD parameter to the
- libname statement. Then SAS will write each new dataset at the
- end of the current file.

- Summary : MVS Transport Lib running 6.07??
- System(s) : MVS/ESA/SAS6.07
- Name : David Nasser
-
- Am I supposed to be able to write an MVS SAS transport *library* to
- disk running SAS6.07?
-
- I thought it was as simple as allocating the transport library
- and writing numerous members (type "data") to it.
-
- But after I run something like:
-
- //YR1 DD DSN=YEAR1,UNIT=CART,DISP=OLD
- //YR2 DD DSN=YEAR2,UNIT=CART,DISP=OLD
- .
- .
- //YR8 DD DSN=YEAR8,UNIT=CART,DISP=OLD
- //TRANS DD DSN=TRANS,DISP=OLD,DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLOCKSIZE=8000)
-
- LIBNAME TRANS XPORT 'TRANS';
- DATA TRANS.YR1;
- SET YR1.YEAR1;
- KEEP thisun thatun;
