SAS Data Set Source

Pyramid allows you to upload or connect to SAS Data Set files and convert the data into a table to be added to the ETL. The SAS Data Set source supports local file upload, or pointer to a shared .sas7bdat file on a network drive, or URL address

Provide an SAS Data Set File Source

Start by adding the SAS Data Set source node and go to its Properties panel. Connect the required file by uploading it, or pasting a pointer to a shared file, or a URL address.

Uploaded File

Upload the file by dragging it from its folder location onto the upload widget. Alternatively, click Upload File to open your file explorer and find and select the file from its folder location.

Shared File

Enter the file path of the shared file (including the file name and extension) in the File Path field (green highlight below). Enable 'Expression' (yellow highlight) to provide the file path in the context a dynamic PQL expression, created in the PQL Editor.

• Custom Header: if custom header authorization is required
