Defining SAS/ACCESS Descriptor Files

Introduction to Defining SAS/ACCESS Descriptor Files

To use the SAS/ACCESS to IMS interface view engine, you must define special files that describe IMS databases and data to SAS. These files are called SAS/ACCESS descriptor files. This section uses examples to show you how to create and edit descriptor files.

The examples in this section are based on the IMS database WIRETRN. Complete information about the WIRETRN database is provided later in this section. From this database, the examples create an access descriptor. Then, the examples create a view descriptor based on the access descriptor. For complete reference information about the ACCESS procedure, see ACCESS Procedure Reference.
