SAS Component Language: Reference

Assigning Librefs

SCL provides the LIBNAME function for assigning a libref in an SCL program. You can also assign librefs outside an SCL program that works with SAS tables by putting the appropriate LIBNAME statement in the application's start-up file, the autoexec file. For more information about assigning librefs outside an SCL program, see the SAS software documentation for your host operating system.

If you have SAS/SHARE software or SAS/CONNECT software installed at your location, you can also use Remote Library Services (RLS) to assign librefs. RLS gives your SCL applications "read" or "write" access to SAS tables, views and catalogs across hardware platforms and SAS releases. Once an RLS libref is established, the RLS functionality is transparent to SAS tables and views in SCL programs. Catalog compatibility across platforms is architecture dependent. For further information, see SAS/SHARE User's Guide.
