SAS/ACCESS Interface for Informix

Passing SAS Functions to Informix

SAS/ACCESS Interface to Informix passes the following SAS functions to Informix for processing if the DBMS driver or client that you are using supports this function. For more information, see Passing Functions to the DBMS Using PROC SQL.

SQL_FUNCTIONS=ALL allows for SAS functions that have slightly different behavior from corresponding database functions that are passed down to the database. Only when SQL_FUNCTIONS=ALL can the SAS/ACCESS engine also pass these SAS SQL functions to Informix. Due to incompatibility in date and time functions between Informix and SAS, the Informix server might not process them correctly. Check your results to determine whether these functions are working as expected.
