Hello Guys,

Greetings of the day.

In sas :

If we want to use sas datasets in sas server we can use the below

libname SomeAmazingLibrary "/sas/data/sas_datasets/Bla/Di/Bla";

Now if i want to assign sas datasets in sas server in python jupyter notebook

What are the steps to be followed ?

Should sas software installed locally?

Please see the configuration step here https://sassoftware.github.io/saspy/install.html#configuration. You have to connect to the SAS server, local or remote. Here is the information about starting the SAS session and loading the data https://sassoftware.github.io/saspy/getting-started.html#start-a-sas-session.

And, the saspy method for assigning a library is the following (off of the SASsession object):

saslib(libref: str, engine: str = ' ', path: str = '', options: str = ' ', prompt: dict = None) → str

Parameters:	libref – the libref to be assigned engine – the engine name used to access the SAS Library (engine defaults to BASE, per SAS) path – path to the library (for engines that take a path parameter) options – other engine or engine supervisor options
Returns:	SAS log
