- A similar question came up on STAT-L a few weeks ago. One answer is to use
- SAS Proc DIF (Data Interchange Format), but it is only available with
- SAS/PC so you would have to have your data there, as well as SAS and Lotus.
- DIF format is supported by many spreadsheets, including Lotus and Excel
- (although I don't know much about Excel).
-
- You don't say what platform your SAS is on, but on several of the operating
- systems (for sure IBM mainframes) the SAS/CALC product is a new offering
- that seems to be much improved over the old Proc FSCALC from SAS/FSP under
- version 5. It, of course, can read and/or produce SAS datasets. You might
- want to check it out.
