Export table in sas7bdat

[rehman_panjwani]

I would like to export the table from SAS E.G in format sas7bdat but it shows me  error  Local SAS is required for this operation.

I have tried the below process but the issue not yet resolved. 

--------------------------------------------------------------

SAS Enterprise Guide might display the following error in a message box:

Local SAS is required for exporting as a SAS Data File

If this error occurs, do the following:

1. Open SAS Enterprise Guide and expand the Servers icon.
2. Verify that the Local server is displayed. If it is not displayed, select Tools ► SAS Enterprise Guide Explorer.
3. In the explorer window, select File ► Manage Profiles.
4. Click the Servers tab, and select the box Automatically add local SAS server (if installed) to server list.

---------------------------------------------------------------

My SAS version is 

SAS Version - 9.2

EGRC Enterprise Governance, Risk and Compliance - 4.3.1

Oracle 11g

Windows Server 2008 SP1 R2

Kindly help.

If you do not have a native SAS installation on your desktop, this operation is not possible.

Either use a simple file transfer tool (eg WinSCP) to copy the file from the server to the desktop, or the built-in download task from EG.

I'm having the same problem as OP (I'm using SAS EGuide 7.1), and this doesn't seem like a good answer.  How does one install a "native SAS installation"?  What does that mean?  I already have SAS installed on the local computer... what more is needed?  (I'm a SAS newbie... please help!)

I tried following both a fix as well as a workaround for this problem, described here, but neither worked.

If your EG connects to a remote server, then the SAS System itself is not installed on your PC. In order to create a .sas7bdat on your desktop, you need the core SAS System there.
