I'm still mostly using EG but was curious to see how this could work with Studio 3.8 connecting to a Linux server.

 

The quickest adhoc way I could figure out was:

1. Export to Excel and store somewhere on the SAS compute side as documented here

2. Open the Excel file out of a WinSCP session that's configured to open Excel's directly

Which is pretty much what people that run SAS on Unix have been doing for the past 20-30 years.

If you just mount the disks from both Unix and Windows you can use Windows Explorer instead of WinSCP.

I know. It's in my experience often hard to get "IT" motivated to establish such a shared mount/access via smb or the like.
