%SERVERID(server-alias, <NEQ>);

-
server-alias
-
The SERVERID macro converts the server-alias to an actual server ID in the SERVER= option in
the SERVER and OPERATE procedures and LIBNAME statements.
-
NEQ
-
supplies only the server ID value (without
the SERVER= option).
Additionally, the SERVERID macro generates a %LET statement
for a macro variable whose name is the high-level qualifier in a two-level
server name in the following form:
|
%LET high-level-qualifier=network-node;
|
The server name must be listed in the server information
table and have a network node name associated with it, as shown in the following
examples:
libname mylib 'SAS-data-library' %serverid(devserv);
set server %serverid(serv1,neq);
The first example generates the LIBNAME statement, which
supplies the SERVER=server-ID parameter. The
second example generates a SET SERVER statement, which supplies only the server-ID without the SERVER= parameter keyword.
