Subject:      Re: Selecting and combining IMS segments

that informations are not complete! You have to tell much more about your
structure and what you try to do.
What does "table" mean in IMS/DB environment? There are no tables in a
hierarchical DB, as far as I understand it.
What I also do not understand: if you have defined the SAS-ACCESS
descriptors for all needed segments, you have (or can get) all the data in
SAS. Joining should be no real problem in SAS, if you know your data... Is
that a logical problem? Do you know how to do that in SAS? Is the
definition of the Access descriptors the problem? Do you even HAVE
SAS/ACCESS-IMS? If not, why do you use SAS? Better use COBOL or something
else to write programs for extracting the data in flat files and read them
into SAS.
