Updating SAS Files with IMS Data
You can update a SAS data file or data set with IMS data that is described by a view descriptor just as you can update a SAS data file with data from another SAS data file.
Suppose you have a SAS data set, MYDATA.BIRTHDAY, that contains employee ID numbers, last names, and birthdays. (See Example Data for a description of MYDATA.BIRTHDAY.) You want to update this data set with data that is described by VLIB.EMPBDAY, a view descriptor that is based on the IMS EMPLINF2 database. To perform this update, enter the following SAS statements:
libname vlib 'sas-data-library'; libname mydata 'sas-data-library'; options nodate; /*---------------------------------------------*/ /* Update the BIRTHDAY SAS data set */ /* with data from IMS */ /* EMPLINF2 database */ /*---------------------------------------------*/ options linesize=80; proc sort data=mydata.birthday; by employee_id; run; proc print data=mydata.birthday; title2 'Sorted SAS Data Set MYDATA.BIRTHDAY'; run; proc print data=vlib.empbday; title2 'Data Described by VLIB.EMPBDAY'; run; data mydata.newbday; update mydata.birthday vlib.empbday; by employee_id; run; proc print data=mydata.newbday; title2 'SAS Data Set MYDATA.NEWBDAY'; run;
The EMPLINF2 database is a HIDAM database whose root segment is sequenced by the key field EMPID, so when the UPDATE statement references the view descriptor VLIB.EMPBDAY, the data is presented to SAS for updating in sorted order by EMPLOYEE_ID. However, the SAS data set MYDATA.BIRTHDAY must be sorted before the update because the UPDATE statement expects both the original file and the transaction file to be sorted by the same BY variable.
The following three outputs show the results of the print procedures.
