# SAS/ACCESS Sample Repository (sas-access-samples)
## Overview
This repository contains sample SAS programs that use SAS/ACCESS engines to connect to your data source. The samples are divided into two main directories: SAS Foundation and SAS Viya.
* Programs at the top-level platform directory are generic and can be used for any of their corresponding SAS/ACCESS engines.
* Programs that run for a specific SAS/ACCESS interface are found in the folder for that interface.
* Some engines have their own version of the generic programs, and those should be run instead.
## Prerequisites
Before you can connect to your data source using these programs, you must know the following items:
* User ID and password or authentication domain
* Server host name and port number, if the port is different than the default value.
## Installation
To load the programs into the editor in SAS Studio:
1. Click the download button on the right-hand side of the samples repository page on GitHub.
2. Save the project on your computer.
3. In the Explorer tab of the left-hand navigation pane, navigate to where you saved the sample files and open them.
To load the programs into the program editor in SAS windowing environment:
1. Click the download button on the right-hand side of the samples repository page on GitHub.
2. Save the project on your computer
3. Click File > Open Program
4. Navigate to where you saved the sample files and open them.
To load the sample files using the Git Integration feature in SAS Studio, refer [here]([https://go.documentation.sas.com/?docsetId=webeditorug&docsetTarget=n1db24v7wrl64gn19kjothg6mxpj.htm&docsetVersion=3.8&locale=en](https://go.documentation.sas.com/doc/en/webeditorcdc/default/webeditorug/p0puc7muifjjycn1uemlm9lj1jkt.htm))
## Getting Started
To use the sample programs on your machine:
1. The sample files should be executed in the following order:
* createLibname
* createSampleData
* All sample files in your data-base specific directory
* The remaining sample files in the top-level platform directory
2. Replace the comments in the createLibname sample file with the appropriate values for your system.
* For the dbms macro, enter your engine name. For example, if your engine is postgres, type Postgres
* For the CONNOPT macro, enter your database connection information. See CONNOPT.md for engine-specific parameters
