All the power and flexibility of SAS can be used to analyze and present data directly from ADABAS databases. Gaining ADABAS database access can be as simple as filling in the blanks. And analyzing and reporting on that same data can be as easy as pointing and clicking. This title provides complete details for using the ACCESS procedure in a non-windowing environment and contains reference information required by an applications programmer to write access and view descriptors to access ADABAS data and use it in SAS. This title shows you how to perform the following tasks: create SAS/ACCESS descriptor files using the ACCESS procedure, directly access ADABAS data from within a SAS program using the SAS/ACCESS descriptor files created with the ACCESS procedure, extract ADABAS data and place it in a SAS data file using the ACCESS procedure, the DATA step, or other SAS procedures, and update ADABAS data using the SQL procedure, SAS/FSP software, SAS/AF software, and the APPEND procedure. This title is also available online. This title provides applications programmers, end users, and administrators the reference information needed to use ADABAS data with SAS. Supports releases 9.1 and higher of SAS software.
