SAS & Python

Roymadpis — Mon, 25 Apr 2022 11:11:52 GMT

Hi!

I am using SAS Enterprise Guide and I was wondering if there is a way to write python code directly in SAS, and if there is a way to do so if you can guide me on how.

examples for use cases I would like to perform:

I have data in a table in SAS and I want to perform several manipulations with Pandas

I have a CSV file and I want to read it using Pandas and perform manipulation on that data

Thanks ahead!

Contact your sas-admins they know if you can execute Python code in a sas-session.

Check out this Blog Post SAS or Python? Why not use both? Using Python functions inside SAS programs

The SAS on-line documentation has additional examples

But be aware, there are pre-requisites for this functionality:

Python 3.x must be installed on your SAS Compute/Processing Server
Must have SAS 9.4 M6 / M7 release
Must define two Environment Variables
- MAS_M2PATH: <location for SAS supplied mas2py.py script>
- MAS_PYPATH:<Location of your Python binary>

Hope this helps
