How to export from SAS to Excel?

"Then use the Copy Files task (which you will need to download/install) to copy the result to the desired location on your PC. "

thx Chris - so does this mean one doesn't generally export straight from code on a VM to a 'PC'/network location? I was trying to get this all in code without the extra Copy Files step and share with co-workers, but if that's how it is then that's how it is. Appreciate the response.

Dear Mötley Crüe fan,

If you know of a location on your UNIX file system that you can:

(a) write files to, and

(b) access from the PCs on your network, perhaps via a network shared drive or Samba mount

Then you can accomplish this all with code.  But you will need to know of a valid UNIX path and include that as the output file location in your program.

The technique I shared can work without you having to know anything special about your UNIX setup, but it does require an EG step to copy the result to where you want it.

ok I will ask an Admin for more info then...most/all co-workers run EG from their own computers when they need to do this but I'd like to 'solve' being able to do this on the VM. Thanks for the insight.
