I am trying to connect via odbc to update a table using a SAS table I created in SAS Enterprise Guide.

I have tried code similar to this, but I am not getting the results I desire.

libname odbclib odbc noprompt= "Driver,Server, DB, ID, PWD, etc".

data odbclib.servertable;

set work.sasegtable;

ytd_earnings = qtr_amount

sen_yrs = Senioriry Years

where clock_num = Clock Number

and pay_yr = Pay Year;

"Servertable" is the table on the server I would like to update with the SAS EG table "sasegtable"

I have no problems with my libname statement, just not sure what syntax to use to update a table this way or using the odbc statement.

Any help with this would be appreciated.

If you wish to use the data step, you need to use the MODIFY statement, see on-line doc and samples on support.sas.com.

You could also use SQL (which your syntax looks like), but then you need to do a correlated sub query. Again, search support.sas.com.
