SAS/ACCESS Software for PC File Formats: Reference

Sample Data in This Book

This book uses sample PC files that show you how to use the SAS/ACCESS interface to PC file formats. The PC files were created for a fictitious international textile manufacturer. This company's product line includes some special fabrics that are made to precise specifications. All the data in the files are fictitious.

Note: The files are designed to show how the SAS/ACCESS interface treats data stored in PC files. They are not meant as examples for you to follow in designing files for any purpose. [cautionend]

Sample Data shows you the data in these sample PC files. The SAS/ACCESS software sample library contains the following files for your use. These files enable you to create the PC files and SAS/ACCESS descriptors and to run the examples.

PCFFDBL.SAS: contains the DATA steps and PROC DBLOAD statements to create the PC files.
PCFFSAMP.SAS: contains the SAS code of the examples in Examples.
PCFFMACS.SAS: contains macros that enable any SAS/ACCESS interface for a PC file format to create database-description statements; these statements are used in the PROC DBLOAD and the PROC ACCESS code in PCDBL.SAS and PCSAMP.SAS files.
PCFFSCL.SAS: contains the Screen Control Language (SCL) examples used in this book to create SAS/AF software examples.

These files are shipped with your SAS/ACCESS software. Check with your SAS system administrator or SAS Software Consultant for access to these files.
