Hi Everyone. I got the task to extract data from a sas7bdat-file, provided by a customer to use the data for further analysis. As we are not using SAS, there is no instalation of any SAS product on our system. I started configuring the OLEDB driver but found that it is not able to perform SQL-Statements later. Now i am trying to configure ODBC driver (SAS_ODBC_Driver_9.3). Currently I am facing the problem, that the ODBC driver seems to require sas.exe (please see attached screenshot). Could anyone please tell me, if (and how) it is possible to configure the ODBC driver to load data from locally saved sas7bdat files? Is a installation of SAS necessary? If yes, which product? I hope anyone of you could help me as noone of our team has any experience with SAS yet ..
