To export the attributes from an ArcMap layer to a SAS data set:

1. Select the layer whose attributes are to be exported and right-click.
2. Select Data Export attributes to a SAS data set from the pop-up menu.
   Note: If you don't see this menu item, you must add it as an extension to ArcMap.
3. Specify the file name to be exported to.
4. Choose to export All features or Selected features.
   Note: You must select rows from the layer's data set for Selected features to be available.
5. Specify the path and filename to be exported to.
   By default, the data is written to SASUSER to a data set named Export_Output.sas7bdat. You can direct the output to any directory to which you have write access, and you can change the name from Export_Output to any valid SAS data set name.
6. Click OK.

Note: Geographic data (points, polylines) are not included in the exported data set.
