SAS/ACCESS Interface to SYSTEM 2000 Data Management Software: Reference

Introduction

The ACCESS procedure enables you to create and edit the descriptor files used by the SAS/ACCESS interface to SYSTEM 2000 software.

This chapter provides reference information for the ACCESS procedure and its options and statements. First, the PROC ACCESS statement is presented, then each of the options and statements. For examples of how to use the statement options, refer to Defining SAS/ACCESS Descriptor Files.

Creating and Using View Descriptors Efficiently presents several efficiency considerations for using the SAS/ACCESS interface to SYSTEM 2000 software. The final section, ACCESS Procedure Data Conversions, summarizes how the SAS/ACCESS interface treats each type of SYSTEM 2000 data.

For information on SAS data sets and data libraries and their naming conventions, or if you need help with the terminology used in this procedure description, refer to the SAS Language Reference: Dictionary and the SAS documentation for your host system. Help is also available from within the SAS System by choosing Help then SAS System Help from the menu bar, then Help on SAS System Products and SAS/ACCESS in the help system.
