LIBNAME libref R3 <options>;
- libref
-
specifies a valid SAS
name that serves as an alias to associate SAS with the SAP tables
and view. It is any SAS name when you are assigning a new libref.
- R3
-
explicitly specifies
the R/3 library engine.
- options
-
names one or more options
honored by the R/3 engine, delimited with blanks.
The SAP LIBNAME statement
assigns a library and allows the SAP engine to establish the connection
to the SAP system. The SAP system checks the logon information submitted
in the LIBNAME statement. The checked information includes the values
for user, password, language, and client.
A user specifies a LIBNAME
statement for the engine, and then can use that libref throughout
SAS, wherever a libref is valid.
