Communications Access Methods for SAS/CONNECT and SAS/SHARE Software

Macintosh: TCP/IP Access Method

CAUTION:: Support for Version 6 only. Beginning with Version 7, the Macintosh is not scheduled to be supported. However, information is included here for Version 6 users.

SAS/CONNECT

Local Host

The following example illustrates the statements that you specify in a Macintosh local host SAS session to connect to a remote host with the TCP/IP access method.

filename rlink '!sasroot:misc:tcpos2.scr';
options comamid=tcp remote=rmtnode;
signon;

The first line identifies the script file that you use to sign on to a remote host. The script includes a prompt for a userid and a password that are valid on the remote host. The TCP/IP access method is declared with a connection to the remote host RMTNODE. The SIGNON statement performs the sign-on process.

Remote Host

SAS Institute does not provide support for connections to the Macintosh remote host with the TCP/IP access method.

SAS/SHARE

Client

The following example illustrates the statement that you specify in a Macintosh client CONFIG.SAS612 file to configure the server.

-set gsbn_server1 5015

The following example illustrates the statements that you specify in a Macintosh client SAS session to access a server with the TCP/IP access method:

options comamid=tcp;
libname sasdata 'edc.prog2.sasdata'
        server=rmthost.share1;

The first line declares the TCP/IP access method. The LIBNAME statement specifies the data library that is accessed through the server that is identified by the two-level name RMTHOST.SHARE1.

Server

The following example illustrates the statement that you specify in a Macintosh server CONFIG.SAS612 file to configure the server's service.

-set gsbn_server1 5015

The following example illustrates the statements that you specify in a SAS session on the Macintosh host at which you start a server:

options comamid=tcp;
proc server id=share1;
run;

The TCP/IP access method is declared and the server SHARE1 is started on the Macintosh host.
