View Descriptors Based on the Access Descriptors for IMS

This section shows the SAS statements that are used to create the view descriptors for the AcctDBD database that is used in the examples in this document. The AcctDBD database is described in IMS Essentials. The view descriptors are presented here in alphabetical order for easy reference.

You can create all the view descriptors used in the document by using PROC ACCESS statements. These view descriptors are based on the MyLib.Account access descriptor shown earlier in this section.

proc access dbms=ims ad=mylib.account;
  create vlib.account.view psb=accupsb;
    select  soc_sec_number
            customer_name

This section shows the SAS statements that are used to create the view descriptors for the EmplInf2 database used in the examples in this document. The view descriptors are presented here in alphabetical order for easy reference. You can create all the view descriptors used in the document by using PROC ACCESS statements. These view descriptors are based on the MyLib.Employee access descriptor shown earlier in this section.

proc access dbms=ims accdesc=mylib.employee;
  create vlib.emplload.view psbname=empilpsb;
    select  employee_record;
  list view;

  create vlib.emplview.view psbname=empiupsb;
    select  employee_record;
  list view;

  create vlib.empbday.view psbname=empiupsb;
    select  employee_id
            last_name
            first_name
            birthday
            phone_extension;
  list view;

This section shows the SAS statements that are used to create the Vlib.WireData view descriptor for the WireTran database that is used in the examples in this document. The WireTran database is described in detail in Defining SAS/ACCESS Descriptor Files. This view descriptor is based on the MyLib.WireTran access descriptor shown earlier in this section.

proc access dbms=ims ad=mylib.wiretran;
  create vlib.wiredata.view psbname=acctsam
     pcbindex=5;
    select 'wire transaction';
  list view;
