Data Source Task

The data source selector task displays an Data tab with a dataset selector and a required variable selector. When a dataset and variable are selected global macro variables are created and set:

dataset - the name of the dataset selected
saslibrary - the SAS library name
sastable - the name of the table selected
var - the variable selected

An example of the generated code is:

%global DATASET;
%global SASLIBRARY;
%put DATASET=SASHELP.CARS;
%put SASLIBRARY=SASHELP;
%put SASTABLE=CARS;
%put VAR=EngineSize;
