This can be achieved by setting up a DSN connection in the ODBC administrator to SQL Server and then referring to it in your program using the d sn= option on the ODBC libname statement. Another thing to note is that when you are connecting to SQL Server through the ODBC engine in WPS 2.4, you can now enable bulk insertion of data by using the BULKLOAD=YES, BL _LOG= and BL_OPTIONS= options on the ODBC libname. This greatly improves performance w hen inserting data into SQL Server. On Windows platforms, you will need to have the following installed in order to use the associated WPS Library Engine: Database to connect to: Client required: Available from: =========================================================================== DB2 Run-Time Client IBM website (free do wnload). Oracle Instant Client Oracle website (fr ee download). Teradata Teradata CLI Teradata website (fr ee download).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Changes to External System Command Behaviour -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------WPS 2.4.0 introduces changes to the external system command behaviour of launchi ng commands from CALL SYSTEM, or X or %SYSEXEC. These changes ensure that WPS 2.4 i s more compatible with the behavour of the SAS System. This may cause incompatibil ities with previous versions of WPS. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Change in value of SYSCC after errors/warnings -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------The values assigned to the SYSCC automatic macro variable have changed in WPS ve rsion 2.4 to be more compatible with the behaviour of the SAS System. Previously on Windows p latforms SYSCC was set to 1 on warnings and 2 on errors to match the value that is return ed from the executable on completion. Now the value of SYSCC is set to 4 for warnings and 30 00 for errors and this is translated to the relevant exit code when the executable terminates. -------------------Version 2.4.0.1 --------------------New: Support for FILENAME FTP option PASV -New: (#6146) Support added for Iinformat $REVERS -New: (#7643) Support added for Proc LOGISTIC statement OUTPUT -New: (#7752) Support added for Proc Reg otion SELECTION=RSQUARE -Fix: (#3778) PROC FORMAT / is checking for an existing format -Fix: (#6565) Passthrough DB2 IMPORT terminates wpscomsvr -Fix: (#7098) ABEND U0999 after end of all SAS code -Fix: (#7209) Proc datasets age statement deletes highest cycle even when nothin g to age -Fix: (#7327) ZDATJUL does not apply yearcutoff to date -Fix: (#7661) Tabulate converts local national characters -Fix: (#7709) Possible infinite recursion caused by HEADER= code writing out too many lines -Fix: (#7729) Unexpected Results Using Proc PRINT By statement -Fix: (#7742) The input record was not long enough to satisfy the INPUT statemen t -Fix: (#7765) By variable "SYSNAME" is not correctly ordered -Fix: (#7770) Access to Oracle from Windows Server 2008 -Fix: (#7822) FILEREF() return code wrong -Fix: (#7823) Message 'PROC LOGISTIC is for evaluation only' produced -Fix: (#7828) Proc CONTENTS summary shows incorrect Modified Date -Fix: (#7831) Solaris program is returning an Exit 139 -Fix: (#7833) Error in formatting array value -Fix: (#7835) Proc CONTENTS ignores NOPRINT option -Fix: (#7841) INDEXW function only honouring one delimiter -Fix: (#7846) ODBC engine: dbcommit / insertbuff fails to upload full dataset -Fix: (#7849) Serious performace issues with Proc Summary -Fix: (#7870) Error Inserting into DB2 -Fix: (#7873) Keyed Iterators do not correctly handle the next record having a d

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Working with Multi-Byte Character Data in the WPS Workbench -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Code Page setting on the Windows > Preferences page within the WPS Workbench controls the way in which character data is transferred between the WPS Workbenc h and the WPS Server. The Workbench operates in Unicode, whereas the WPS Server currently supports onl y single-byte character sets, however this does not prevent working with multi-byt e character data. WPS 2.2 allowed multi-byte data to be input and displayed whereas versions of WP S 2.3 up to revision 2.3.4 did not allow this. WPS 2.3.5 extends the functionality provided in WPS 2.2 to allow user-selectable code pages. The Code Page setting is independent of the WPS ENCODING and LOCALE system options and will be deprecated when full DBCS support is added to the WPS Server. Work is continuing to improve multi-byte character support within WPS. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Using the Code Page Setting -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Code Page setting should be set to the encoding of the files(s) or data that i s being run. For example, if the SAS program being run is saved in a file using the SHIFT-JIS code page, then the Code Page should also be set to SHIFT-JIS. It is assumed that any files i ncluded using the %INCLUDE statement will also be stored in the same code page (SHIFT-JIS in t his case). -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Fixed and New Items in 2.3.6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------New: (#6027) Support for FILEDEV system option -New: (#6255) Support the calling of macro variables with in macro names -New: (#6932) Support for JFCB option on FILE/INFILE for VSAM files -New: (#7133) Message output to log when graph NAME changed on creation -New: (#7169) Graphics Option RESET=GOPTIONS -New: (#7239) Graphics Option INTERPOL=JOIN -New: (#7244) Proc GCHART statements HBAR/PIE/VBAR option DESCRIPTION -New: (#7257) Proc GCHART statement VBAR option SUM -New: (#7258) Proc GCHART statement HBAR/VBAR options PATTERID and GAXIS -New: (#7754) Proc GCHART statement HBAR option NOSTATS -Fix: (#4985) Various issues with LEGEND statement -Fix: (#5636) Occasional locking of data sets -Fix: (#6198) Issue with Seek and Tell for empty WPD2 datasets -Fix: (#6693) Large number of UNAVAILABLE RESOURCE exceptions -Fix: (#6760) Issue with datasets when cancelling a PROC SORT -Fix: (#6896) Issue when trying to Proc PRINTTO to a dataset with no DD Card -Fix: (#6941) PROC FORMAT CNTLIN loops reading formats/informats with no range s
