About the Example Data in the Document

This document uses two HDAM IMS databases, the AcctDBD database and the WireTrn database. These databases were created for a bank, and they contain data about the bank's customers and their checking and savings account transactions. The seven AcctDBD database segments are named CUSTOMER, CHCKACCT, CHCKDEBT, CHCKCRDT, SAVEACCT, SAVEDEBT, and SAVECRDT. The WireTrn database has one segment, WIRETRAN, and includes only data pertaining to wire transfers of money. All the data in the document is fictitious.

The document also uses one HIDAM database, EmplInf2, in the examples.

See Example Data for more information about the AcctDBD database and the data that it contains. It also includes definitions of all the view descriptors referenced in this document and all the SAS data files and statements used to create them. Defining SAS/ACCESS Descriptor Files provides information about the WireTrn database and definitions of the view descriptors used in the examples.

To run the examples based on the AcctDBD and WireTrn databases, you must first load the database files and define the access and view descriptors shown in Example Data. Use the sample library files described here.
