SAS Export Node Export Tab

This feature is available in SPSS® Modeler Professional and SPSS Modeler Premium.

Export file. Specify the name of the file. Enter a filename or click the file chooser button to browse to the file's location.

Export. Specify the export file format. Options are SAS for Windows/OS2, SAS for UNIX, or SAS Version 7/8/9.

Export field names. Select options for exporting field names and labels from IBM® SPSS Modeler for use with SAS.

  • Names and variable labels. Select to export both IBM SPSS Modeler field names and field labels. Names are exported as SAS variable names, while labels are exported as SAS variable labels.
  • Names as variable labels. Select to use the IBM SPSS Modeler field names as variable labels in SAS. IBM SPSS Modeler allows characters in field names that are invalid in SAS variable names. To prevent possibly creating invalid SAS names, select Names and variable labels instead.

Generate an import node for this data. Select this option to automatically generate a SAS source node that will read the exported data file. See the topic SAS Source Node for more information.

Note: The maximum allowed length of a string is 255 bytes. If a string is more than 255 bytes, it will be truncated when exporting.
