Cross-Environment Data Access (CEDA) |
CEDA provides these advantages:
CEDA runs transparently. The user can read a data set without knowing the native format of the file.
CEDA requires a single translation between native and foreign formats versus multiple translations from native format to transport format to native format.
CEDA eliminates the need to perform explicit steps in order to access the file.
CEDA does not require a dedicated server as is needed in SAS/SHARE or an explicit sign-on as is needed in SAS/CONNECT.
