The files PORTQRY.611 and PORTSQL.611 contain QUERY and SQL catalog entries in transport format. The files contain the fixes for several SQL Query Window problems in Release 6.11: V6-QUERY-A950 CREATE TABLE or CREATE VIEW options fail in the Query Window In Release 6.11, you can not create a SAS data set or view in the SQL Query Window using the access mode of ODBC. You will receive the messages when you attempt to create a SAS data set or view: ERROR: Invalid connect option: create ERROR: ODBC SQL API Error #IM002: Microsoft ODBC Driver Manager Data source name not found and no default driver specified ERROR: Connection to the ODBC DBMS does not exist. V6-QUERY-A961 QW_RUN SCL class method will not run query when data is on remote host The QW_RUN SCL class method allows you to run a SQL query created and stored through the SQL Query Window in a AF/SCL program without having to invoke the Query Window. However, the query will not execute when the data resides on a remote host system. You may receive a program halt on PC systems. V6-QUERY-A984 The Lookup Distinct Values feature has been added to the Prompt at Runtime window. You can request the unique values for a column while resolving a prompt string at runtime. However, a problem issues when the value you are resolving is a DBMS date. Once you have selected a value for the date column, the value is not displayed in the WHERE clause. INSTALLATION OF THE NEW CATALOG ENTRIES: --------------------------------------- To install the new catalogs, please follow these steps: PC INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: ---------------------------- 1) Download the files, PORTQRY.611 and PORTSQL.611 to your pc. 2) Invoke the SAS System and submit the following SAS code from the SAS DMS program editor: /* CHANGE dir TO THE APPROPRIATE DIRECTORY */ filename tranfle1 'dir:\portqry.611'; /* CHANGE dir TO THE APPROPRIATE DIRECTORY */ filename tranfle2 'dir:\portsql.611'; proc cimport cat=sashelp.query infile=tranfle1; run; proc cimport cat=sashelp.sql infile=tranfle2; run; This step replaces existing entries in your production SASHELP library.
