Introduction to SAS/ACCESS Interface to SAP HANA

For available SAS/ACCESS features, see SAP HANA supported features. For more information about SAP HANA, see your SAP HANA documentation.

Note: When you use analytic views in SQL statements, the measures must be aggregated. The SAS/ACCESS engine generates a default statement with aggregated measures based on the metadata about the analytic view.

PARMSTRING= and PARMDEFAULT= LIBNAME options and PARMSTRING= and PARMDEFAULT= data set options are available. The PARMSTRING= options specify a quoted string of variable name and value pairs or a placeholder string. The PARMDEFAULT= options specify whether the SAP HANA engine should use the defaults for variables and parameters as specified in the metadata in SAP HANA. For more information, see the following documentation:

SAS/ACCESS Interface to SAP HANA includes SAS Data Connector to SAP HANA. The data connector enables you to load large amounts of data into the CAS server for parallel processing. For more information, see these sections:
