Although the examples are
operating environment-specific,
the basic SAS command syntax for all transport methods is identical across
operating environments. The noteworthy syntax difference among operating environment
types is the specification of the SAS library in the LIBNAME statement. For
complete details about the syntax for the LIBNAME statement, see your operating
environment companion documentation.
