PROC CIMPORT is a new procedure available in SAS.

PROC IMPORT: Introduction The IMPORT procedure reads data &om an external data source and writes it to a SAS data set. Extema1 data sources can include DBMS tables, PC 61es, spreadsheets, and delimited extemal61es (which are 61es containi!lg columns of data values that are separated by a delimiter such as a blank. or a comma).

Once you invoke PROC IMPORT, the procedure reads the input 61e and writes the data to a SAS data set, with the SAS variables defined based on the input records. PROC IMPORT imports the data by one of the following methods:

• generated DATA step code

• generated SAS/ACCESS code

• translation engines.

You control the results with options and statements that are specific to the input data source. PROC IMPORT produces the specified oulput SAS data set and writes information regarding the import to the SAS log. fu the log, you will see the DATA step or the SAS/ACCESS code generated by PROC IMPORT. If a translation engine is used, then no code is submitted.

PROC IMPORT is available for Version 7 on the following hosts:

eOS/2

• UNIX

• VMS

• Windows 95

• WmdowsNT

Overview

The EXPORT procedure reads data from a SAS data set and writes it to an external data source. External data sources can include DBMS tables, PC files, spreadsheets, and delimited external files (which are 61es that contain colunms of data values that are separated by a delimiter such as a blank or a comma).

Once you invoke PROC EXPORT, the procedure reads the input data set and writes the data to the external data source. PROC EXPORT exports the data by one of the following methods:

• generated DATA step code

• generated SAS/ACCESS code

• translation engines.

You control the results with options and statements that are specific to the output data source. PROC EXPORT produces the specified output file and writes information about the export to the SAS log. In the log, you see the DATA step or the SAS/ACCESS code generated by PROC EXPORT. If a translation engine is used, then no code is submitted.

PROC EXPORT is available for Version 7 on the following hosts:

.oS/2

• UNIX

• VMS

• Wmdows 95
