Example 11. DTS: Uploading a Catalog That Contains Graphics Output

Purpose

You can use the UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD procedures to transfer catalog entries that contain graphics output. By default, the catalog entries are transferred individually and are re-created in the destination catalog in alphabetical order. However, you can alter the order or grouping of the catalog entries in the destination catalog by using SELECT statements in the UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD procedures.

Program

Assume that you have a catalog named FINANCE that has two entries, INCOME and EXPENSE, which contain graphics output. You want to download the two catalog entries that contain graphics output in the order that they are stored on the remote host. For example, you want INCOME to appear before EXPENSE, not alphabetically as the DOWNLOAD procedure would transfer them by default. In addition, you have some catalog entries that are grouped by the name GROUP1 and you want to preserve the grouping when the entries are downloaded. This program preserves the order and grouping by using SELECT statements.

   proc download incat=rhost.finance
      outcat=rhost.finance;
      select income expense/et=grseg;
      select group1;
   run;
