It sounds like your questions is really "Does SAS provide a utility in Sase SAS for converting a RDATA file to a SAS data set." I assume you are looking for something like PROC IMPORT. As far as I know, the answer is "No, Base SAS doesn't provide a utility like that." There are some third-party macros that convert data to/from SAS and R. As far as I know, they all use R's write.csv function to write a CSV file and then read that into SAS by using PROC IMPORT or something equivalent. You can read about the various macros in this post: Twelve advantages to calling R from the SAS/IML language - The DO Loop You can try Xin Wei's %PROC_R macro if you don't want to run the conversion yourself. Incidentally, you mention SAS Stat Studio. That is the old name of SAS/IML Studio. Since you do not have an IML license, that option won't help you.
