Hello!

 

In which format do you want to export data from SAS? In .xlsx, in .sas7bdat, in .csv, others?

in text format

Have a look, thats not what you need?

proc sql; create table t1 as select * from sashelp.air; quit;

%let path ="/home/sasserver/sasuser/files/test.txt"; /*input your path*/
proc export data=t1 outfile=&path. label dmbs=tab replace; putnames=yes; %run;

 

If you need other formats it is also possible.
