Introduction to Browsing and Updating CA-Datacom/DB Data

The SAS/ACCESS interface to CA-Datacom/DB enables you to browse and update your CA-Datacom/DB data directly from a SAS session or program. This section shows you how to use SAS procedures to browse and update CA-Datacom/DB data that is described by SAS/ACCESS view descriptors.

Most of the examples in this section use the view descriptor Vlib.UsaCust that you created in Defining SAS/ACCESS Descriptor Files. See Data and Descriptors for the Examples for definitions of the view descriptors referenced in this section. This appendix also contains the CA-Datacom/DB tables and SAS data files used in this document.

See CA-Datacom/DB Essentials and Information for the Database Administrator for more information about retrieval processing, update processing, and locks.
