SAS/C Sample Library

Using the Library

The SAS/C Sample Library is a diverse collection of SAS/C programs included on the Usage Notes tape to assist system and application developers. The library contains programs, functions, and utilities that demonstrate features of the SAS/C Compiler library. The sample library also includes the necessary JCL and directions to compile, link, and execute SAS/C programs. The sample library includes C to assembler and assembler to C programs, interlanguage communication between C and other high-level languages (COBOL, FORTRAN, PL1), TCP/IP client and server applications, along with C and C++ samples. Some of the programs require special products, such as ISPF, DB2®, or the SAS/C FSSL product in order to execute.

All sample programs contain the following copyright restrictions:

                  Copyright (c) 1997, SAS Institute Inc.

The table below lists and describes the contents and organization of the sample library:

The directory names given are the simple directory names on the release media. The full names are dependent on the operating system and the installation.
Each directory contains a file, ##README, briefly describing the examples in that directory and indicating any special compilation or execution dependencies.
JCL statements requiring customization for the local environment are flagged by "<==verify" or "<==check." Be sure to verify these statements.

For each program in the sample library, there is a corresponding file that explains how to compile, link, and execute the program. For example, the FTOC program converts Farenheit to Celsius temperature readings. For instructions on compiling, linking, and executing this program:

on MVS, see SAMPLE.AUX(FTOC)
on CMS, see SAMPLE MACLIB,MEMBER FTOC.
