Before an SCL program can access the values in a SAS table, a communication link must be established between SAS software, the SAS tables, and the SCL program. You link SAS software to the tables by assigning librefs to the data libraries in which the SAS tables are stored. You complete the communication by linking the SAS tables and the SCL program, using the OPEN function to open the SAS tables. (Some SCL routines, such as CALL FSEDIT and CALL FSVIEW automatically open the SAS table that they are displaying. Therefore, the OPEN function is not needed to open the specified table.)
