Hello,
Our local SAS support has consulted technical support and received the following answer: " The SAS implementation of DIV libraries allocates a number of hiperspace pages sufficient to hold all of the library blocks simultaneously. SAS does not merely define a window into the DIV library. " This answers question 2, confirming that the size of the DIV SASLIB is limited to the size of the Hiperspace. The documentation about DIV libraries and Hiperspaces will be updated to clarify this relation. The answer to question 1, whether DIV is supported for WORK is not relevant anymore. The HSWORK option puts WORK in a Hiperspace and there is no need to 'harden' this to a DIV file, because WORK is volatile by definition. Kees. From: Vernooij, CP - SPLXM Sent: Friday, April 19, 2013 15:23 To: [email protected] Subject: SAS and DIV Saslib Hello, Does anybody have experience with SASLIBs defined as DIV files with a Hiperspace? I have tried this and have run into 2 problems / questions with them: 1. I constantly receive errors when I define WORK as DIV file. Can WORK be defined as DIV file? 2. I receive space problems with the DIV SASLIB with Hiperspace and the space of the DIV SASLIB seems to be limited to the maximum space of the Hiperspace. Normal z/OS DIV files exploit a Hiperspace, that acts as a window on the DIV file and the DIV file size is not limited by the Hiperspace size. Does SAS use a one to one relation of the DIV SASLIB and the Hiperspace? In other words, is the size of the DIV SASLIB limited to the maximum size of the Hiperspace? Both questions are not answered in all the SAS documentation I searched. Does anybody have the answer or does anybody know where to get more info on this? Is SAS monitoring this forum and willing to provide the answers? Thanks and have a good weekend, Kees. ******************************************************** For information, services and offers, please visit our web site: http://www.klm.com.
