After you have started SAS/CONNECT, you
can transfer files between your remote session and your local session. The
DOWNLOAD procedure copies a file that is stored on the remote host to the
local host.
Using PROC DOWNLOAD in SAS/CONNECT you can
- transfer multiple SAS files in a single step by
using the INLIB= and OUTLIB= options. This capability enables you to transfer
an entire library or selected members of a library in a single PROC DOWNLOAD
step.
- specify certain entries in a catalog or certain
members in a library that should be downloaded by using the SELECT and EXCLUDE
statements.
- specify a translation table that should be used
when you download a SAS catalog.
- use WHERE processing and SAS data set options
when you download individual SAS data sets.
- replicate certain data set attributes when you
download a data set.
- transfer data sets and catalog entries that have
been modified on or after the specified date.
- transfer encrypted SAS data set files.
This chapter
describes the syntax and specifications for the DOWNLOAD procedure.
