SYSTEM 2000 Data in SAS Programs

Using SYSTEM 2000 Data in SAS

One advantage of the SAS/ACCESS interface to SYSTEM 2000 is that it enables SAS to read and write SYSTEM 2000 data directly, using SAS programs. This section presents examples of using SYSTEM 2000 data that is described by view descriptors in SAS programs. For information about the example data, see Example Programs. For information about using view descriptors efficiently in SAS programs, see Performance Considerations.

Throughout the examples, the SAS terms variable and observation are used in place of comparable SYSTEM 2000 terms because these examples illustrate using SAS procedures and the DATA step. The examples also include printing and charting data, using the SQL procedure to combine data from various sources, and updating a SAS 7 data set with data from SYSTEM 2000. For more information about the SAS language and procedures used in the examples, see the documents referred to throughout this section.
