Data from SAS

Postby Dag Kolsrud » Thu Feb 02, 2023 5:09 am

Is there a way to import data from a SAS database on a server? It is possible to do that for FAME data, e.g.

%data = "/ssb/stamme02/nasjregn/arbkraft_mr2021/famedb/aordning_volum.db"
wfcreate(wf=kai, page=m) m 2017m1 @now
dbopen(type=fame, s=2959@sl-fame-1) {%data}

Is there a similar way for SAS data on a server?

EViews can read data from any ODBC-compliant database. Depending on permissions, you can also write.

Do you have an ODBC driver for SAS? If so, then try reading this post for instructions on how to import ODBC data.
