What are you calling 'SAS output' and what do you mean by XML? Are you referring to the tagset version or a file that you want to open with Excel?

I would like to convert SAS output (.lst) to XML?  any method is fine with me,  Is there a way?

Not one that would have any decent structure. What is the end goal here? XML are structured output, LST files are designed for viewing/reporting.  ODS TAGSETS.EXCELXP generates a type of XML file but it looks like an Excel file. You can try that I suppose, and see if it meets your needs.

 

ods tagsets.excelxp file='demo.xml' style=meadow;

proc print data=sashelp.cars(obs=10);
run;

proc print data=sashelp.class(obs=5);
run;

ods tagsets.excelxp close;

And then if you want a data set to an XML file you can use ODS XML.

 

 libname newfile xml 'c:\_localdata\temp.xml'
           xmltype=export;
   data newfile.test;
      set sashelp.class;
   run;

   libname newfile;
