Supported Data Sources and Environments

The IMPORT and EXPORT procedures work within the limited range of available PC file formats if they reside locally on UNIX. The procedures work with a wider range of PC file formats if they reside locally on a PC.

The Import and Export Wizards and the IMPORT and EXPORT procedures are part of Base SAS software. If SAS/ACCESS Interface to PC files is not licensed, access is limited to CSV, TXT, and delimited files.

Alternate methods to access data are described in Methods for Accessing PC Files Data.

Note:   The PC File Server version MUST match the SAS version.  [cautionend]
