| Defining SAS/ACCESS Descriptor Files |
To use the
SAS/ACCESS interface to CA-Datacom/DB,
you must define special files that describe CA-Datacom/DB tables
and data to SAS. These files are called SAS/ACCESS descriptor
files. This section uses examples to illustrate creating and editing these
files, as well as using the ACCESS procedure to extract CA-Datacom/DB data
and place it in a SAS data file. (For complete reference information about
the ACCESS procedure, see ACCESS Procedure Reference.)
The examples in this section are based on the CA-Datacom/DB table
named CUSTOMERS. (See Data and Descriptors for the Examples to review the data in this table.) The examples create an access descriptor
file named MYLIB.CUSTS for that table. Then, the examples create two view
descriptor files, VLIB.USACUST and VLIB.CUSTADD, based on the access descriptor.
