Cross-Environment Data Access (CEDA)

CEDA Advantages

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.

  • No interim transport files are created.

  • 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.
