Example 1. RLS: Accessing Remote Data to Print a List of Reports

Purpose

The following example uses RLS to access a small portion of the data that exists in a remote SAS data set, in order to print a list of the reports that are being requested by the local workstation. This is a good use of RLS, provided the data set REPORTS.REQUEST has a small number of observations.

Program

   signon rempc;
[1]
   libname reports REMOTE 'd:\prod\reports' 
      server=rempc;
      data _null_;
      set reports.request;
      if (copy = "Y") then do;
         put "Report " report_name 
            " has been requested";
      end;

Define a remote library to a local session. The value for SERVER= is the same as the remote session id that is used in the SIGNON statement.
