Subject:      one more interactive SAS question
Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I have received many great replies to previous questions relating to the
display manager.  However, I do have one more question.  Currently all of
my programs are in a pds file and I often summarize data early in a program
and save it to a permanent file.  (my JCL for this is:  PERM  DD
DSN=IUJMEEQ.LIBRARY.DATASET, DISP=OLD, a sample file would be PERM.SAVE).
Ideally I would like to access the data in my permanent files when using
interactive SAS.  Currently I have only been able to use interactive SAS to
check syntax. I.E. no observations.  Could anyone give me a sample of how
to access a permanent file while using interactive SAS?  Thanks in advance!
 
 
When using Interactive SAS I submit:  FILNAME PROG
'IUJMEEQ.PDS.SAS(member)';
then type INCLUDE PROG on the command line to bring up my program.  I
routinely enter PROG REPLACE to save my changes.
