Meta Index / Home Page
The following environment variables may be set by the user:
- SAS_CLOBBER
Determines the clobber behaviour. 0 implies that datasets may not be
overridden, whilst 1 implies otherwise.
- SAS_FORMAT
Determines the output format of new datasets. The following settings are
allowed:
- SAS_MEMORY_MODEL
Determines which memory model the DAL uses to open datasets. The following
settings are allowed:
- 1, high
- 2, highlow
- 3, low - as the low memory model is not implemented, this will default
to highlow
- SAS_ROWS
Determines the number of rows selected when iterating over a table. Any
positive integer value is allowed.
- SAS_COLUMN_WISE
The DAL can write table columns (to the underlying FITS file) either in a
column-by-column or a row-by-row fashion. The default behaviour is
row-by-row, but setting the environment variable SAS_COLUMN_WISE ensures
the column-by-column method is used.
