Hello,
Is that possible to generate generation file for external file(not sas dataset)??
libname mylib "c:\temp\";
data mylib.a12321 (genmax=10);/*this works for SAS dataset*/ x=1; output; run; filename gen_file "c:\temp\a_generation_file";/*this is external file,need generation file like sas dataset above */ data _null_; time=time(); file gen_file(genmax=10);/*the genmax needed here,not works so far*/ put time; format time time9.; run;
Thanks!
No, but you can write SAS code that determines a new name within a sequence, so you can build the generation files yourself.
Thank you!
