Ist it possible with 8.2 or I need to have a XML engine?<BR /> Can someone give out the solution.<BR /> <BR /> Thanks,<BR /> Priya Fri, 04 Jan 2008 15:37:35 GMT deleted_user 2008-01-04T15:37:35Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/Mathematical-Optimization/Is-it-possible-to-convert-SAS-Datasets-to-XML/m-p/6132#M105 Hi All,<BR /> <BR /> I would like to know as how to convert SAS datasets to XML with SAS 8.2.

For that, proc copy seems simplest.<BR /> <BR /> The XML engine delivered with SAS8.2 is a bit basic, but exists. There is an improved version available for download from the <A href="http://support.sas.com/index.html" target="_blank">http://support.sas.com/index.html</A> website. (but that isn't the simplest solution, nor the "best" <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":winking_face:">😉</span><BR /> <BR /> <BR /> PeterC Fri, 04 Jan 2008 16:30:48 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/Mathematical-Optimization/Is-it-possible-to-convert-SAS-Datasets-to-XML/m-p/6133#M106 deleted_user 2008-01-04T16:30:48Z
