SASPy SAS session using Jupyter notebook

[SouravRoy]

Hi 

I am trying to use Python and SAS together. and have logged into SAS using 

sas = saspy.SASsession(cfgname='winiomwin')

Some point, later in my work I am trying to use  SAS code directly through  %%SAS jupyter notebook magic. However, this is starting a new SAS session. 

Is there a way to use the same session in different cells of Jupyter Notebook as captured in variable sas defined while setting up the session.

Thanks

Sourav

Yes, you can do that! Just put the SASserssion object as a 'paramter' on the %%SAS as follow, this should work if you have multiple different connections too, to direct the cell to the appropriate connection:

%%SAS sas

SAS code;run;

Let me know if that worked for you (it should 🙂 )

Thanks,

Tom
