README file for getting SAS/ACCESS TO ODBC to work with the 
               Teradata ODBC Driver on HPUX

======================================================================
WARNING:  Please read this entire README file before proceeding.  
Depending on the type of SAS installation you have, the procedure for
you to follow may vary slightly (See Methods 1 AND 2).  
====================================================================== 

By default, the SAS/ACCESS Interface to ODBC can only communicate with
ODBC drivers created with the cfront (c) compiler.  Since the Teradata
ODBC driver was created with the aCC (C++) compiler, you will need to 
download a fix in order for this to work. 

=======================================================================
Method 1:
=======================================================================
Use this method if you are only using SAS/ACCESS Interface to ODBC to 
interface with your Teradata ODBC driver.  If you have any other ODBC
datasources that you use (which use cfront drivers), please see 
Method 2.

Before proceeding, please take a moment to make a backup copy of the 
sasodb module that is located in your !SASROOT/sasexe/dbi directory.
We recommend that you name the module something that will identify
the type of compiler used to create it.  For example:       

   > mv !SASROOT/sasexe/dbi/sasodb !SASROOT/sasexe/dbi/sasodb.cfront.orig

The module you will need to download to replace your sasodb module is at
the following web location:

   http://www.sas.com/techsup/download/maint/access/odbc/HPUX/8.00

The name of the file is:

   sasodb.teradata.V8

You will need to make sure you download this file in BINARY format.


You will then need to rename the module to sasodb:

    > mv sasodb.teradataV8 sasodb

Then, make sure the permissions are set to READ and EXECUTE for everyone:

    > chmod 755 sasodb
            
You should then be able to connect to your Teradata ODBC driver from 
within SAS with code similar to the following:

    proc sql;
      connect to odbc (uid=johndoe pwd=yourpw dsn=yourdsn);
         select * from connection to odbc (select * from yourtable);
      disconnect from odbc;
    quit;

(You will need to make sure your Teradata ODBC driver is setup properly
for this to work.  Please refer to the documentation NCR provided with 
the driver).

==========================================================================
WARNING:  Please note that this sasodb module will only work with odbc
drivers compiled with the aCC compiler.  If you have multiple drivers
on your system that you need to access, and some of them were compiled 
with the cfront compiler, please see Method 2.                             
==========================================================================

==========================================================================
Method 2:
==========================================================================
Please use this method if you have a need to access data via the Teradata
ODBC driver AS WELL AS data from other ODBC data sources.  This method 
will all you to take advantage of the fix needed for the Teradata driver,
as well as access your other datasources with the older sasodb file.
==========================================================================

The module you will need to download is sasodb.teradata.V8 and it is located
at the following web location:

   http://www.sas.com/techsup/download/maint/access/odbc/HPUX/8.00

Once downloaded, create a new directory for this file:

   mkdir !SASROOT/sasexe/dbi/aCC

Copy the file you downloaded from our web site into that directory:

    cp sasodb.teradata.V8 !SASROOT/sasexe/dbi/aCC

Rename the file:

    cd !SASROOT/sasexe/dbi/aCC

    mv sasodb.teradata.V8 sasodb

Change the permissions:

    chmod 755 sasodb

Then, you will need to make a copy of your !SASROOT/sasv8.cfg file:

    cd !SASROOT
      
    cp !SASROOT/sasv8.cfg !SASROOT/sasv8.cfg.teradata

In the new config file, you will find several lines preceded by the 
-PATH option.  One of the -PATH options points to the             
!SASROOT/sasexe/dbi directory.  You will need to add the following
line BEFORE the one pointing to the !SASROOT/sasexe/dbi directory.  

    -path !SASROOT/sasexe/dbi/aCC

Then, when a user that needs to use SAS to connect to Teradata or
another aCC driver, they would need to use the special config file
you created in the prior step.  For example:
  
    sas -config sasv8.cfg.teradata
