SAS
Package Retriever is an SCL application that enables you to retrieve
package data from a transport—archive, message queue, or WebDAV-compliant
server—to an appropriate storage location on your SAS system
or an external file location. After you designate a storage location
for the entry (for example, at a libref, fileref, or a file location),
you can reference the entry for inclusion in a SAS program for continued
package publishing in the business enterprise.
Examples of package
data include SAS data (such as a SAS data set, SAS catalog, or a SAS
database) and external data (such as an HTML file, binary file, text
file, or viewer file).
Underlying the functions
of SAS Package Retriever is a subset of the
Publish Package CALL routines that relate explicitly to retrieving packages, which you
can use directly for programmatic package retrieval.
To invoke SAS Package
Retriever, enter the following command on the SAS command line:
retrievepackage
