SAS/ACCESS Interface to CA-DATACOM/DB: Reference |
A spool file is created if all the following conditions are true:
Note: The spool file creates a temporary file of static
data. It does not prevent other users from changing the data in the table.
The processing costs may be so high that some tables cannot be processed. Therefore, a DDBLOCK= data set option is available that instructs the interface view engine not to build the intermediate file. If DDBLOCK equals 1, a warning message appears, but the procedure continues to execute. The user executes the procedure at his own risk. Presumably, that user is the only one using the table or the table is under exclusive use by some method separate from the SAS System.
Alternatively, if you are concerned about keeping the data static while the SAS procedure executes, you could extract the CA-DATACOM/DB data into a SAS data file, then run the procedure against that data file.
