FILE Subcommand (DATA LIST command)

FILE specifies the raw data file. FILE is required when data are stored in an external data file. FILE must not be used when the data are stored in a file that is included with the INCLUDE command or when the data are inline (see INCLUDE and BEGIN DATA—END DATA).

• FILE must be separated from other DATA LIST subcommands by at least one blank or comma.
• FILE must precede the first slash, which signals the beginning of variable definition.
