Differences from SAS/IML Studio

This section lists differences between the R option in the SUBMIT statement as implemented in SAS/IML Studio and the same option in PROC IML:

• In PROC IML, R must be installed on the computer that runs the SAS server. In SAS/IML Studio, R must be installed on the computer that runs the SAS/IML Studio application.

• If R is installed on a SAS workspace server and is accessed through SAS Enterprise Guide, everyone that connects to that server uses the same version of R and the same set of installed packages. In SAS/IML Studio, R is installed locally on the client computer, so each user can potentially have a different version of R and different packages.
