SAS/ACCESS Interface to Sybase 4 Arguments 741contains spaces or nonalphanumeric characters, you must enclose it inquotation marks. PASSWORD= can also be specified with the SYBPW=,PASS=, and PW= aliases.DATABASE=database-namespecifies the name of the Sybase database that contains the tables and viewsthat you want to access. If the database name contains spaces ornonalphanumeric characters, you must enclose it in quotation marks. If youomit DATABASE=, the default database for your Sybase user name is used.DATABASE= can also be specified with the DB= alias.SERVER=server-namespecifies the server that you want to connect to.

Do not set to YES unlessneeded.If you specify the appropriate system options or environment variables for yourdatabase, you can often omit the connection options. See your Sybasedocumentation for details.LIBNAME-optionsdefine how SAS processes DBMS objects. Some LIBNAME options can enhanceperformance, while others determine locking or naming behavior. The followingtable describes the LIBNAME options for SAS/ACCESS Interface to Sybase, withthe applicable default values.
