SAS/ACCESS
software provides a DATA step interface between SAS and Computer Associates
Integrated Data Management System (CA-IDMS). Through the DATA step,
you can use INPUT statements and special extensions in the INFILE
statement to access or extract data from the CA-IDMS database.
Note: The DATA step interface enables only
Read access to CA-IDMS data. You cannot update CA-IDMS data through
the
SAS/ACCESS interface to CA-IDMS.
This document describes
the DATA step interface and how to write CA-IDMS INFILE and INPUT
statements.
