4.2.4.3.1 MSI Options Statement (MSIOPTS)

This statement defines the special options for MSI Field
Developed Applications.

STATEMENT FORMAT

The MSIOPTS keyword is coded starting in column 1, followed
by one or more option keywords, and continuing through column
72.  Multiple MSIOPTS statements can be coded, but
continuation of a single MSIOPTS statement is not supported.

  MSIOPTS options ...

STATEMENT OPTION KEYWORDS

 The MSIOPTS keywords specify options unique to MSI Field
 Developed Applications.  MSIOPTS statements coded before the
 first FILE statement specify global options used by all
 files in the FDA.  MSIOPTS statements coded after a FILE
 statement specify options for that file only.  A FILE level
 option overrides the same option specified in a global
 MSIOPTS statement.

 SPLITCHAR character

 Some input data sets contain a special character in the
 variable label used by SAS to control line breaks when
 printing the label.  The SPLITCHAR option is provided as a
 means to instruct MSI to remove the special character from
 data element labels during MSI FDA file creation.

 FILTER filtername | NONE

 Certain data sources contain SAS variables that have no
 meaning under MSI.  Generally, these are date and time
 sequences.  MSI currently supports filter types of MXG
 (the MXG data source), and USR (user defined).

 Note: For each file in fdaGENIN that has an input SAS
 dataset that comes from MXG, if ENDTS, STARTTS, and ORGSYSID
 statements are not specified, you must use the following:

   MSIOPTS FILTER MXG

 CREATEWITH datafilename

 This option is coded on an MSIOPTS statement which follows
 a FILE statement.  That preceeding file statement
 specifies a data file that will be created at the same
 time as datafilename.  Datafilename was specified as as
 the FID of a data file defined on an earlier FILE
 statement in this GENLIB library member.

 Createwith files are changed from INPUTSAS to INPUTMODEL.
 This means that a separate input step will not be created
 for this file.

 Detail summarization will be accomplished after the
 datafilename detail files have been sorted.

 MULTWORK | NOMULTWORK

 Determines if the file is eligible for Generalized Work
 File Support.  This feature allows CA MICS to distribute
 work space over several work data sets.
