Thank you for your reply , do you mean that it is easier to access the SAS dataset with ODBC?

Use ODBC to connect to a SAS server that is running SAS/Share, which is basically a dedicated process to serve up SAS data.

Use OLE DB to connect to a local SAS data set (sas7bdat) using the SAS Local OLE DB provider, or to a remote SAS Workspace running SAS Integration Technologies (same as used by SAS Enterprise Guide). For the remote case, use the SAS IOM OLE DB provider. Both are available for download from support.sas.com.

See the SAS OLE DB "cookbook".
