SPD Server now supports
user formats with the put() function that are more than 8 characters
in length. An SPD Server host can read user format catalog files that
were created by SAS running on Windows, or that were running on the
same machine as the SPD Server host. The spdsls list utility has been
enhanced to add a -verbose option. The -verbose option provides information
such as the number of observations, observation length, index segment
size, partition size, and whether the table is compressed, encrypted,
or is a member of a cluster.
For more information about SPD Server list utilities, seeSPD Server Table List Utility Spdsls in SAS Scalable Performance Data Server: Administrator's Guide.
SAS implicit pass-through
SQL now permits SQL queries to SPD Server that include supported SPD
