Features and Supported Data Sources

Supported Data Sources and Platforms

The IMPORT and EXPORT procedures work within the same limited range of file formats if these reside locally on UNIX, but they also work with a wider range of PC file formats if these are on the PC.

This table shows the availability of Import and Export Wizards and procedures with respect to the data source components and platforms.

The Import and Export Wizards and procedures are part of Base SAS software. If you do not have a license to SAS/ACCESS Interface to PC Files, however, you can access only CSV, TXT, and delimited files.

You can also use alternate methods to access data in PC file formats under Linux, UNIX, Microsoft Windows, and z/OS operating environments.
