CREATE libref.member.ACCESS;

Details

The CREATE statement specifies a one- or two-level name for the access descriptor you want to create. The suffix specifies the member type ACCESS. You can use the CREATE statement in one procedure execution as many times as necessary.

To create an access descriptor, the CREATE statement must follow the PROC ACCESS statement. It is specified before any of the database description or editing statements, which are described later in this chapter.

When you submit a CREATE statement for processing, the statement is checked for errors and, if none are found, the access descriptor specified in the previous CREATE statement (if there is one) is saved. If errors are found, error messages are written to the SAS log and processing is terminated. After you correct the error, resubmit the statements or batch job for processing.
