 Figure 2-208.  Example of Alternate Input File Panel


This panel allows you to specify a SAS file that is not a
part of the standard CA MICS online database as input to the
graphic analyses.  You must specify one or more SAS file
names and an MVS data set name.  If you do not enclose the
data set name in single quotes, your TSO prefix (or user-ID)
is added as the first portion of the data set name.

The number of alternative SAS files required and the
equivalent CA MICS file names will automatically be adjusted
for the analysis you are selecting.
