How to import a JSON file in SAS?

[PatrickChan]

Anyone can help for my captioned question?  Thanks.

1)PROC DS2  has a JSON package.

2)Data Step code.

I am not familiar with DS2. but if you could post that JSON file,
maybe I could write some data step code to get it .

Its pretty straight forward for datastep processing, read in the file as a text string,

on { start new id,

parameter=scan(string,1,"=") 

if scan(string,2,"=") contains " then result_character=scan(string,2,"=")

else result_numeric=input(scan(string,2,"="),best.)

resulting dataset should then have each parameter and either test or number result which can then be transposed up.

Hi,

You can have a look at Chris Hemedinger's blog "Using SAS DS2 to parse JSON" and Mark Jordan's (SAS Jedi) blog "Jedi SAS Tricks: DS2 & APIs - GET the data you are looking for" for usage examples.

Hope this helps,

Ahmed
