Hello,

Please see attachment.

libname HPSLSR sasiola

tag = "USER.&std..DIHPS.HPAData.

Do we need a tag because there could be other tables in memory besides HPSLSR.customerorders ?

And how do we build a tag name ?

Thanks.

Odesh.

Hi:
Here's the feedback from the instructors:

Yes, the same table could be loaded, so the tag provides a unique identifier for a table. Here’s the doc URL on LASR tags:

https://go.documentation.sas.com/?docsetId=inmsref&docsetVersion=2.83&docsetTarget=p0bavp5gqq00can14rcfdfsrt1fi.htm&locale=en

Here's an excerpt from that page:

"What is a Server Tag?

A server tag is a text string that is associated with a table that is loaded into memory on a SAS LASR Analytic Server instance. The server tag is specified in the LIBNAME statement or as a data set option. The server tag and the table name are used together to match the name used for tables in the SAS LASR Analytic Server."

There is more information on the documentation page about why you would use a server tag.

Hope this helps,

Cynthia
