| XML LIBNAME engine
|
XML is quickly becoming a common and convenient way to exchange data between applications. This Web page provides SAS 8.2 information.
The capabilities of SAS in this arena have evolved quickly. The XML LIBNAME engine that was shipped with SAS 8.2 imports or exports a very strictly formatted XML document. Some customers have asked Why Can't SAS Import My XML Document? Read the topic for more details about the shipped SAS 8.2 XML engine.
To process a wider variety of XML documents in SAS 8.2, download a hot fix that upgrades the SAS 8.2 XML LIBNAME engine to SAS 9.1 production quality and adds the CDISC procedure.
See What's New in the SAS 8.2 Hot Fix.
Use the SAS 9.1 XML LIBNAME Engine: User's Guide in the SAS 9.1 online documentation. The document is under Base SAS.
Note: This is expected to be the last update to the SAS 8.2 XML engine. Some features of the SAS 9.1.3 XML engine are not available from the hot fix.
The preproduction ODS XML statement for Version 8 is replaced by the production ODS MARKUP destination in SAS 9.
