SAS/ACCESS Software for Relational Databases: Reference

Introduction

This chapter describes the SAS/ACCESS options that you can specify on a SAS data set in the form SAS/ACCESS-libref.dbms_table_name. A data set option applies only to the data set on which it is specified. A data set option remains in effect for the duration of the DATA step or procedure.

For information about DBMS-specific data set options and details such as default values, refer to your relational DBMS chapter. In general, whenever there are like-named LIBNAME and data set options, the value of the data set option defaults to the value of the LIBNAME option, if not specified. See SAS/ACCESS LIBNAME Statement for a description of the SAS/ACCESS LIBNAME statement and its options, which can be assigned to a group of relational DBMS tables or views.
