Overview of the LIBNAME Engine for SAP

The SAP LIBNAME engine is a read-only engine that lets you access tables and views from SAP systems. For most operating systems, the SAP LIBNAME engine makes a direct connection to the SAP system. For z/OS operating environments, the SAP LIBNAME engine accesses an SAP system through a SAS RFC Server. The SAP LIBNAME engine is part of the SAS solution to access data in an SAP system.
Note: Unlike other library engines, these interfaces are read-only and do not support any forms of data set creation, deletion, or modification.
