SAS Export Data

[newbi]

Is it possible to export or ftp sas dataset into csv, xml  or excel and schedule to run the export job ?

Thanks

SAS has a procedure for doing exactly that.

You can also send the resulting file via ftp using the filename statement:

As far as scheduling is confirmed you can install a crontab task to execute the job as a SAS batch process if you wanted.

Other scheduling options include the Windows Scheduler if you are running under Windows, numerous third-party schedulers, or in SAS itself via the EG schedule project facility or the DATA step SLEEP function.

Minimally, you have SAS Scheduler and Crontab
