This option provides the node name of an SPD Server host machine and locates the port number of the SPD Server's Name Server. When there is no SERVICE= specification, SPD Server checks the client's /etc/services file (or its equivalent file) for SPDSNAME – a reserved name for the SPD Server's Name Server.

Examples

Specify the server machine SAMSON and use the default named service SPDSNAME to obtain the port number of the SPD Server Name Server.

   LIBNAME mylib sasspds 'spdsdata'
      host='samson';

Specify the server machine SAMSON and provide the port number of the SPD Server Name Server.

   LIBNAME mylib sasspds 'spdsdata'
      host='samson'
      service='5002';

Using a Macro Variable to Specify the SPD Server Host

Assign the macro variable SPDSHOST to the SPD Server host SAMSON so that the LIBNAME statement does not need to specify HOST= to locate SAMSON.

   %let spdshost=samson;
   LIBNAME mylib sasspds 'spdsdata'
      user='yourid'
      password='swami';
