I am brand new and would like to access the data on my SAS server with the R program.
Is it possible to create such a connection with ODBC?
R Code:
library(odbc)
connection_string <- "DRIVER={SAS IOM Data Server};SERVER="...";PORT="...";TRUSTED_CONNECTION=YES;"
con <- dbConnect(odbc::odbc(), .connection_string = connection_string)
data_sources <- odbcListDataSources()
dbDisconnect(con)
If yes, how can i setup ODBC on my server, otherwise are there other options here?
Thanks in advance
You would need the SAS ODBC driver on the computer where you run R, and SAS/SHARE licensed and set up on the SAS server.
If you have SAS/IML licensed, you can use R from within SAS.
Hello
If it is your intention to read SAS datasets (sas7bdat files) then you can read them directly without connecting to a SAS server.
The following link has the details with examples.
