-
raw data
- is unprocessed data that has not been read into a SAS data
set. You can use a DATA step to read raw data into a SAS data set from two
sources:
- instream data
- an external
file.
- CAUTION:
- Raw data does not include Database Management System (DBMS)
files.
You must license SAS/ACCESS software to access data
stored in DBMS files. See Accessing Data in a DBMS
for more information about SAS/ACCESS features.
