SAS Integration Technologies + Delphi

japelin — Tue, 14 Sep 2021 03:35:20 GMT

Does anyone know how to build a Windows Client application by Delphi with SAS Integration Technologies, or know of a related technical guide or website?

I got "SAS9.4 Integration Technologies: Windows Client Developer's Guide", but it is mostly about VB, .NET, and the only mention of Delphi is in the language list.

What I want to do is
I want to access and extract SAS datasets from applications I create by Delphi, and execute sas code to process them.

First of all, horrible, horrible to be coding in Delphi. Switch to WPF at a minimum or, better yet, Blazor.

SAS datasets are ODBC compliant so use ODBC.

On SAS code submission, use the LanguageService object in IntTech. If you post code I can try and help you but I use C#. Anders created Delphi and created C# so same mentality. If you can switch, I urge you to make the change. C# is the change you need and Blazor is best bet IMO.

I don't have Delphi examples but you might be able to put something together using these C# and PowerShell samples:

Thank you for pointing this out.

What do you mean by horrible?
That I'm trying to access SAS from Delphi? Or Delphi itself?

I would appreciate your frank opinion.

Also, I will consider the ODBC, including the configuration.

Indeed, I think it would be ideal to switch to C#, but it is difficult due to common resource issues.

Thank you for introducing the sample even if it is in another language.
It is very helpful.
