Download SAS table

[sasnewbie221]

Hi,
I am trying to download a SAS table as a sasbdat file but I’m unsure of how to do this. I generated the table in SAS. Thank you

Download from where? Download to where?

Download from SAS studio onto my laptop

Do you want to convert from a SAS data set to Excel or CSV or Text or some other format? A SAS data set downloaded to your laptop is useless unless you also have SAS running on that laptop.

So you have both a remote SAS session and the option of running your local SAS?

First, get the path name for the library by using the PATHNAME function. Also look at the path of the Files section in your Studio navigation pane.

If the path of the library is a subdirectory of your Files location, you can navigate there and use the download button of SAS Studio.

If it is not, you need to create a subdirectory in Files, assign a LIBNAME to it, and copy the dataset there (PROC COPY, or a DATA step); then do as above.
