Can you tell us about your final objective?  Are you trying to read a local SAS data set or a remote data set from a SAS server?  SAS has packaged two OLE DB data providers -- one for local and one for remote (Integration Technologies).  These can be easily incorporated into custom Windows applications.  You can use SQL syntax to address/filter data.

 

See some examples here:

hello,I wnat to use VS C++ to access the SAS dataset ,the method is optional,the simpler is the better,do you know about using ODBC or OLEDB to acess the data,which is easier to reach my goal? Could you provide some references about this to me ? Thank you very much.

After installation, I'd go looking for the .h header files and the .a or .so library file(s). Add the path to the library files to your LIBPATH environment variable, so the compiler can pick it up.
