SPD Server Extensions to Base SAS

You can access SPD Server by using an SQL pass-through CONNECT statement, or you can issue a SAS LIBNAME statement. After you connect to SPD Server, you can run SAS DATA steps, SAS procedures, or PROC SQL statements.
This document and the SPD Server Administrator's Guide provide syntax and examples that use SPD Server extensions to Base SAS language. Most of your existing SAS programs will function in SPD Server with only minor modifications.
SPD Server uses the following extensions to the Base SAS language:
  • LIBNAME statement options
  • SPD Server SQL pass-through syntax
  • table options
  • macro variables
  • parallel WHERE clause processing
  • parallel GROUP BY processing
  • BY data grouping
  • parallel index creation
  • the operator interface procedure PROC SPDO
