How to delete .spds9 extension file from SAS ?

Hi,

I am using "Scalable Performance Data Engine" technique for performance improvement.

During program execution it creates lots of .spds9 extension file in physical library.

I want to delete those files at the end of the program execution. But SAS is not able to recognize it.

I have used PROC Datasets and Unix (x command). But nothing is working.

I also checked the library structure using Proc Contents. In Proc Contents, it shows library is empty.

How to make SAS to recongnize .spds9 files?

Regards

Nikunj

Hi,

I have got the solution.

All the .spds9 files created by SPDE during processing are linked to SAS Datasets created by program.

So, this time I tried to delete the SAS datasets. On deleting the SAS dataset it will automatically remove all the .spds9 files linked to that dataset.

Thank you all for your inputs.
