Accessing XML file via REST API

Hi Team,

Please help me out to access cloud data in SAS.

Can we access through base SAS or EG or DI?

Thank You

Define what you mean by cloud data - specific for your situation.

Some you can use Base, others you need a SAS/ACCESS licence.

EG and DI Studio are GUI interfaces (on top of Base and other SAS Foundation modules) for ad-hoc analysis/reporting and ETL development respectively - they see no difference if cloud or not.

So this is a bit outside my comfort zone.

I had the post renamed so there's a better chance for getting appropriate attention.
