To SAS-Lers (specifically OpenVMS Users),

Is there a system option for OpenVMS SAS version 8 where a sas program can
create an output file with a file attribute of "Stream_LF" so that these
external files can be served through an Apache WebServer properly?

Currently, what happens is when we create a CSV file, the Apache Webserver
wants to load the contents of this CSV file into a single cell for Excel.
That is, all OBS are treated as a SINGLE record and all the contents is
loaded into a single cell within Excel.

To fix this problem, we are able to use an "Convert/FDL" that will convert
our current files with "variable length" and "Fortran CC" to "STREAM_LF"
formats.

Was hoping we could use a SAS option to do this without having to modify
our current application code.

Have not been able to find any such option as yet.

Thanks,
