Communications Access Methods for SAS/CONNECT 9.1 and SAS/SHARE 9.1

Communications access methods provide information to establish a connection between two operating environments across a network. This title is designed to be used in conjunction with the user's guides for SAS/CONNECT and SAS/SHARE. It provides you with the explicit steps needed for connecting two platforms, enabling you to access and manipulate data as desired. The easy-to-follow procedures are arranged by platform, access method, product, platform orientation (local host, remote host, client, server), and type of user. SAS 9.1 supports the TCP/IP and XMS communications access methods for network connections with the z/OS, OpenVMS Alpha, UNIX, and Windows operating environments. SAS 9.1 also supports the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol that provides network security and privacy in Windows and UNIX operating environments. The APPC, DECnet, EHLLAPI, and NetBIOS communications access methods and the CMS, OpenVMS VAX, OS/2, and Windows 95 and Windows 98 operating environments are no longer supported. This title is written for applications developers, system administrators, network administrators, and end users who use SAS/CONNECT and SAS/SHARE software.
