https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Procedures/Converting-ASCII-to-SAS/m-p/43219#M11267 Hi,<BR /> <BR /> I'm new to SAS and this forum. We currently use SAS to import data from SQL and provide it to our clients in ASCII or SAS formats. I have been asked to look into exporting directly from .NET and SQL to ASCII (the easy part) but also to SAS. Is there a feature in SAS or a method anyone might be familiar with that would allow me to convert an ASCII file to SAS from .NET directly? If this isn't possible, I expect to output to ASCII and import/save directly in SAS.<BR /> <BR /> Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.<BR /> <BR /> Many thanks,<BR /> <BR /> Chris Thu, 01 Jul 2010 16:32:18 GMT acrmartin 2010-07-01T16:32:18Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Procedures/Converting-ASCII-to-SAS/m-p/43219#M11267 Hi,<BR /> <BR /> I'm new to SAS and this forum.
