"Internal Routines" comment --> EG Import Wizzard

[FK1]

Hi Folks,

can someone elighten me, what is behind the "black box magic":

Note: In preparation for running the following code, the Import
Data wizard has used internal routines to transfer the source data
file from the local file system to SASApp. There is no SAS code
available to represent this action.

How does SAS technically access the remote data?

In my case, I am connected to the Meta Data Server using a serer-profile.

The SAS environment is on an IBM AIX based operating system.

Then, I am running the EG-Wizzard (7.15 HF8 (7.100.5.6214) (32-bit)) running from Windows 7 Enterprise N (Version 6.1, Build 7601: Service Pack 1) and I am accessing a remote Windows-based Fileserver.

Does SAS use the SAS/CONNECT tcpunix.scr -script?

No. That would mean you had SAS running on your desktop and on your server.

EG uses Windows-based means to access the external data source (a local DB client, ODBC, Microsoft Data Access) to read the data and converts it to a textfile, which is copied to the server. EG also creates code to read that textfile, and executes in on the server.

The code you see in the log is the one used to import the textfile, and cannot be used in any way to read the original source.
