SASENOAA Interface Engine

SAS OUTXML File

The SAS XML (XML format) data that are returned by the NOAA SWDI web service are placed in a file that is named by the OUTXML= option. The SASENOAA interface engine creates a separate XML file for each SAS data set that is created. By default, OUTXML=NOAA, which creates a file named NOAA.xml in the current working directory. The SAS data set created when the XML data are read into SAS is placed in the folder specified by the physical path in the LIBNAME libref SASENOAA statement, which is described in the section The LIBNAME libref SASENOAA Statement. The name that you specify in the OUTXML= option is also used to form the names of other data sets, but a suffix is added to the name to maintain the identity of the file, such as _M for the message file data set (ID= option) and _S for the statistics results data set (STAT= option).
