SAS Companion for the CMS Environment

SAS View Engines

SAS view engines enable SAS to read SAS data views and data step views that are described by the SQL procedure or by SAS/ACCESS software. These engines support the SAS data set model only and are not specified in the LIBNAME statement.

Under CMS, the following view engines are supported:

ADB: accesses ADABAS database files.
DDB: accesses CA-DATACOM/DB database files.
IDMS: accesses CA-IDMS database files.
IMS: accesses IMS-DL/I database files.
ORACLE: accesses ORACLE database files.
SQLDJ: accesses data sets that are described by the SQL SQLVIEW procedure.

For more information about the SQL view engine, see SAS Procedures Guide. For information about the other view engines, see the appropriate SAS/ACCESS software documentation.
