Getting Started with the XML Engine

What Does the XML Engine Do?

The XML engine processes an XML document. The engine can

export (write to an output file) an XML document from a SAS data set of type DATA by translating the SAS proprietary file format to XML markup. The output XML document can then be
- used by a product that processes XML documents.
- moved to another host for the XML engine to then process by translating the XML markup back to a SAS data set.
import (read from an input file) an external XML document. The input XML document is translated to a SAS data set.
