7.6.1.1 Input Data set Specification (INPUTSASDATASET)

In the fdaGENIN member, the INPUTSAS statement specifies the
default name SAS data set used for input in the DAYnnn step.
MSI provides the INPUTSASDATASET option to override the
default input data set as well as add additional input
data sets.

Multiple data sets can be specified per statement, and
multiple INPUTSASDATASET statements can be specified per
file.  Duplicate data set names are ignored.  Do not specify
SAS data set options on SAS data set names.  Any libnames
specified on INPUTSASDATASET statements must be defined in
the INPUTfda.

The order of the INPUTSASDATASET statements determine the
order the input SAS data set will be read.

The INPUTSASDATASET statement format is:

 INPUTSASDATASET fileid datasetname ...

where:

fileid  = three character fileid

datasetname = the name of the SAS data set to be used for
              input.  Note that the data set name should be
              of the format libname.membername. Any libnames
              specified should appear in the INPUTfda member.

Example:

INPUTSASDATASET ZZZ FIRST.TYPEXX SECOND.TYPEXX
INPUTSASDATASET ZZZ THIRD.TYPEXX
INPUTSASDATASET ZZT FIRST.ZORRO
INPUTSASDATASET ZZZ THIRD.TYPEXX

Note that the above statements define input SAS data sets
for two files ZZZ and ZZT.  Note that for file ZZZ, the
second THIRD.TYPEXX will be ignored.
