1.1.2 Foreground Execution of SAS

Some CA MICS Performance Manager Option inquiries executing
in the foreground environment require that SAS be executed
via the SASCP command rather than by using the CALL command.
These inquiries create temporary PROC FORMATs in ddname
LIBRARY during their execution.  SASCP searches LIBRARY for
temporary formats if the format is not found in ddname
SASLIB.  SAS's CALL mode, however, builds a directory of
existing formats within SASLIB files during its start-up
processing and therefore will never find any temporary
formats created afterwards during the inquiry processing.

The CA MICS Administrator specifies the SAS foreground
interface mode along with other SAS Global parameters through
the CA MICS Administrator Facility options.  Refer to Section
4.4.2 of the CA MICS Planning, Installation, Operation, and
Maintenance Guide (PIOM) for more information.
