Accessing the SAS Libraries MAPS, SASUSER, and SASHELP

By default, every SAS session (including SAS server sessions) provides access to the SAS libraries Maps, Sasuser, and Sashelp. These libraries contain sample data sets and other files that are generally not of interest to ODBC users. Therefore, the SAS ODBC Driver does not report the contents of these libraries when it invokes a SAS ODBC server. (From a programming standpoint, when SQLTables, SQLStatistics, or SQLColumns is called, the result set that is returned does not include rows for the SAS libraries Maps, Sasuser, or Sashelp.) If you want information from these libraries, you can do either of the following tasks:

In both cases, you must use a different name (that is, not Maps, Sasuser, or Sashelp) as your libref or library name.
