But is is documented only as an option as LIBNAME and DATASET option. So you're out of luck.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>You could always send in a SASWare Ballot entry but that doesn't help you on the short term. I can imagine there are some implementation issues to this, like when multiple dbms's are being accessed simultaneously.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Good luck,</P> <P>-- Jan.</P> Wed, 30 Jan 2019 15:52:26 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Management/DBMAX-TEXT-as-global-option/m-p/531410#M16426 jklaverstijn 2019-01-30T15:52:26Z
