The AUTHLIB procedure
is a utility procedure that manages metadata-bound libraries. With
PROC AUTHLIB, you can do the following:
-
create a metadata-bound library
by binding a physical library to metadata within a SAS Metadata Repository
-
modify password values for a metadata-bound
library
-
repair metadata-bound libraries
by recovering security information, secured library objects, and secured
table objects (this functionality is preproduction in this release)
-
remove the physical security information
and metadata objects that protect a metadata-bound library
-
report inconsistencies between
physical library contents and corresponding metadata objects within
a specified metadata-bound library
Users cannot access
metadata-bound data sets from any release of SAS prior to the second
maintenance release of SAS 9.3.
Note: For a
z/OS direct-access
bound library that has been bound to metadata, the constraint is slightly
broader—neither the library nor any of its members can be accessed
by earlier releases of SAS.
