I would like to know how to convert an EG project to a plain SAS program.

Hi Marc,

Creating a .sas file from your EG project is a simple task. From your EG menu:

File - Export - Export All Code.

Hi ,

It is possible to convert the .egp to .sas file when we have only read only access.

I follow the same steps but it gives the error.

when when I follow the Process like Task-Export All code. It gives lots of macro code is there any way to extract only code.

Rename the EGP to a zip extension (ex. MyProject.egp ==> MyProject.zip). Examine the files. They are XML files and one of them will contain the SAS code.

You can use the code form this one:

Each project node has its own piece of code, and certain tasks (e.g. Copy Files or all Export/Import) can't be converted to code, as part of them is executed within EG and not the workspace server.
