5.1.1.3 SAS Global Parameters for ISPF Applications

The SAS Global Parameters for ISPF Applications option
specifies the SAS libraries and parameters to be used to
invoke SAS for MICF foreground, SAS/DMS, and batch inquiry
execution.  The following SAS global parameters are
especially important to MICF users:

o  Foreground interface. This parameter defines how MICF will
   invoke SAS for online execution.  You must specify SASCP
   if you want to be able to execute MICF inquiries in
   SAS/DMS mode or if you want to be able to use the SAS with
   CA MICS Libraries (MSAS) option on the MWF Primary Options
   menu.

o  SAS libraries. The SAS library data sets specified in MAF
   Options are used for foreground, SAS/DMS, and batch
   inquiry execution, and are normally the same data set
   names that are used in sharedprefix.MICS.PARMS(JCLDEFC).

   You can use the optional configuration file parameter to
   point MICF to your installation's SAS parameter defaults
   so that MICF inquiries will use the same defaults as your
   other SAS applications.  MICF will override your
   installation default SAS parameters as required.

o  Optional installation SAS related data sets. You can use
   the installation data set parameters to add your
   installation's load modules, SAS formats, SAS macros, and
   SAS source modules to MICF inquiry execution.  You can
   also override CA MICS modules by concatenating replacement
   modules in front of the distributed CA MICS modules.  Two
   installation data sets are supported for each type of
   allocation.

   -  Use the augmenting library parameter to make
      installation modules available to your MICF inquiries.

   -  Use the override library parameter ONLY to replace
      CA MICS modules, for example, to implement user
      modifications to CA MICS.

   Remember that the data sets you define in MAF options are
   used for MICF production reporting and by ALL MICF users.
   Individual MICF users can define additional SAS-related
   data sets that will be allocated for that specific user's
   MICF inquiries.
