SAS Companion for the CMS Environment

Introduction

Portable statements are documented in SAS Language Reference: Dictionary. Only the statements that are CMS-specific or that have CMS-specific behavior are documented in this section.

If the SAS statement is also described in SAS Language Reference: Dictionary, that information is not repeated here. Instead, each statement description includes "CMS specifics" information that explains how the statement works under CMS. Then you are referred to SAS Language Reference: Dictionary. For statements that are entirely CMS-specific, a full description is given.

The "Valid" information that follows the short description of each statement indicates whether the statement is valid only in a DATA step, or anywhere in a SAS program.
