LOAD;

Details

The LOAD statement causes the interface view engine to create a file and to transfer data to it from the input SAS data set after the DBLOAD procedure is submitted for processing. This statement is required to create and load a new file.

When you create and load a file, you must place statements or groups of statements in a certain order after the PROC DBLOAD statement and its options, as follows:

Database-description statements: PATH= and your PC file-specific statements.
Editing statements: ACCDESC=, DELETE, ERRLIMIT, LABEL, LIMIT=, LIST, RENAME, RESET, and WHERE. The order within this group usually does not matter; see the individual statements for more information. QUIT is also an editing statement but using it immediately terminates PROC DBLOAD.
Creating and loading statement: LOAD must appear last before RUN in order to create and load the new table.
RUN statement: this statement is used to process the DBLOAD procedure.
