About External Files

External files are files that contain data or text, such as SAS programming statements, records of raw data, or procedure output. The SAS System can use these files, but they are not managed by the SAS System.

SAS Language Reference: Concepts contains basic, platform-independent information about external files.

For information about how to access external files that contain transport data libraries, see the SAS Technical Support Web page.
