OUTPUT FILETYPE

FILETYPE=[ ASCII | SUDAAN | SUDXPORT | SAS | SASXPORT | SPSS ]

This optional parameter on the OUTPUT statement specifies the type of output dataset to create. If no FILETYPE is given, an ASCII dataset is created by default in standalone SUDAAN. A SAS dataset is created by default in SAS-callable SUDAAN. Note that FILETYPE=SAS is available only in SAS-callable SUDAAN versions.

Usr the REPLACE option to overwrite an existing file of the same name.

See Data File Documentation for details on filetypes.
