Editing a SAS Session

Editing a SAS Session

When you edit a SAS session, you can configure the SAS source and the target properties.
You can configure the following SAS properties in a session:
Property
Description
Libname Overrule
Optional. Overrides the library name associated with the SAS source or target.
By default, the PowerCenter Integration Service uses the library name configured on the
Metadata Extensions
 tab of the source or target.
Tablename Overrule.
Optional. Overrides the name of the SAS source or target table.
By default, the PowerCenter Integration Service uses the table name of the source or target as defined in the PowerCenter Designer.
Whereclause Overrule
Optional. Overrides the value for the WhereClause used while accessing the SAS data for reading for a SAS source.
PreSASCode overrule
Overrules the value for the PreSASCode exit attribute. The valid values are a SAS Macro or a SAS %include statement.
PostSASCode overrule
Overrules the value for the PostSASCode exit attribute. The valid values are a SAS Macro or a SAS %include statement.

SAS File Directory
The path to the directory where the SAS file or file list for a SAS source resides from where you want to read the data.

SAS File Name
The name of the SAS file for a SAS source from which you want to read data.

  • Indirect. Reads data from a SAS file list you specify.
SAS File List
The name of the file list
.txt
 file that contains a list of SAS files from which to read data.
The Integration Service reads data from the file list
.txt
 file that is available in the path you specify in
SAS File Directory
 field.
Within the
.txt
 file, you can specify either the name of the SAS file or the full path where the SAS file is available on the Informatica server machine.
When you do not specify a path for the SAS file in the file list, the Integration Service searches for the SAS file in the
SAS File Directory
 path.
Join Type Overrule
Optional. Overrides the join type defined for the SAS sources.
By default, the PowerCenter Integration Service uses the join type defined in the source qualifier.
Join Condition Overrule
