XML Engine with DATA Step or PROC COPY

Overview of the XML Engine

The XML engine enables you to export XML documents from SAS data sets and to restore XML documents as SAS data sets. XML documents can be transported across operating environments and read using the XML engine with the DATA step or PROC COPY.

Here is the process for creating an XML document at the source computer and reading it on a target computer:

  1. An XML document is created at the source computer using the XML engine with the DATA step or PROC COPY.

  2. The file is transferred from the source computer to the target computer.

  3. The XML document is read at the target computer using the XML engine with the DATA step or PROC COPY.

For details about the XML engine, see the SAS XML LIBNAME Engine: User's Guide.
