What is the meaning of the following code? What does it mean? what does it do? How we create DSN and from where we get user and password? Please explain.

libname Comp_Sour odbc dsn=COMP user="SAAS_USER" password="abc" schema=dbo;

data temp_comp;
set Comp_Sour .Main_File;

run;

You may want to search for setting up odbc connections, i am confident, that the necessary steps are well documented.

It links to a database identified as COMP, provides a username and password, and then creates a temporary SAS data set that contains the entire contents of the database table Main_File
