SAS/ACCESS Software for PC File Formats: Reference

Overview

This chapter describes the capabilities of the Import/Export facility and the IMPORT and EXPORT procedures, which are available through base SAS software. Both the facility and procedures have the same capabilities but one is a point-and-click interface and the other is code-based. Both enable you to access all of the PC file formats that are available through the ACCESS and DBLOAD procedures (except for DIF). You can also access some additional PC formats, such as Excel 97 (Version 8) or Microsoft Access files. The SAS Import/Export facility and procedures are available under the following operating environments:

UNIX
OpenVMS
OS/2
Windows 95, 98, and Windows NT.

Not every PC file format is available under every operating environment.
