Can this be done? I see posts related to IML but I do not have access to IML. Can this be done directly or does it have to be exported to some other format then imported to SAS?
Aside from the SAS/IML integration, SAS doesn't have an engine to read RDS files directly. You could use R to export them (CSV or JSON) and then read that into SAS. If you have SAS Viya, you can use R-swat to connect to SAS Viya from R and send the R data to your SAS session.
You could try the macro form this article: https://www.jstatsoft.org/article/view/v046c02
It assumes (similar to IML) you have R installed on your machine.
