The CV2VIEW Procedure 4 Example 1: Converting an Individual View Descriptor 887run;PROC CV2VIEW generates these PROC SQL statements./* SOURCE DESCRIPTOR: MYVIEW */PROC SQL DQUOTE=ANSI;CREATE VIEW OUTPUT.NEWVIEW(/* READ= *//* WRITE= *//* ALTER= */LABEL=EMPLINFO)AS SELECT"EMPLOYEE " AS EMPLOYEE INFORMAT= 5.0 FORMAT= 5.0LABEL= ’EMPLOYEE ’ ,"LASTNAME " AS LASTNAME INFORMAT= $10.

Without this statement, the text would be appended to SQL.SAS if theuser has the appropriate privileges.The LABEL value of EMPLINFO is the name of the underlying database table that isreferenced by the view descriptor.If the underlying DBMS is Oracle or DB2, the CV2VIEW procedure adds thePRESERVE_TAB_NAMES= option to the embedded LIBNAME statement. You can thenuse CV2VIEW to access those tables with mixed-case or embedded-blank table names.Note: This SQL syntax fails if you try to submit it because the PW field of theLIBNAME statement is replaced with a comment in order to protect the password. TheALTER, READ, and WRITE protection is commented out for the same reason. You canadd the passwords to the code and then submit the SQL to re-create the view. 4
