SAS Viya - Download .sashdat

[mdcervantes]

How do I download .sashdat from SAS Viya? My alternative is to export the table to .csv but it wouldn't allow me to save the proper field types once I import it again later.

Hi @mdcervantes , you can use the table.save CAS Action via PROC CAS as one way. Example from documentation below

proc cas;
  session casauto;
  table.save /
    table="iris"
    name="irisCopy.sashdat"
    replace=True;
    
  table.fileInfo /                                                /* 1*/
    path="irisCopy.sashdat";
quit;

You can view the action set details here: https://documentation.sas.com/doc/en/pgmsascdc/9.4_3.5/caspg/cas-table-save.htm

Likewise, you can use PROC CASUTIL to save tables to sashdat as well.

Hope this helps

Harry
