Using SAS data in SAS-Callable SUDAAN

Using SAS data in SAS-Callable SUDAAN and SUDAAN data in SAS

1. What is SAS-Callable SUDAAN?

SAS users will want to get the SAS-Callable version of SUDAAN, which is installed as an add-on to SAS on your Windows or Sun/Solaris computer system. Thus, you execute SUDAAN procedures within your SAS programs just like any SAS procedures. SUDAAN can read and write any data file that your SAS system can read or write. In addition, you can use the SAS Macro Facility, and formats created by SAS PROC FORMAT within your SUDAAN procedures. This makes all SUDAAN procedures as easy to use as SAS procedures. However, all versions of SUDAAN are developed and sold by the Research Triangle Institute. Please see Order to obtain SUDAAN ordering information. SAS is a product of the SAS Institute, Inc.

2. Does SAS-Callable SUDAAN accept the SAS ODS (Output Delivery System) option?

SAS-Callable SUDAAN cannot currently accept the SAS ODS options for output. This is because support for this option is not currently available in SAS’s Toolkit software we use to produce the SAS-Callable version of SUDAAN.

3. Why am I getting error messages in SAS-Callable SUDAAN when I try to use SUDAAN's PROC LOGISTIC?

SAS has a procedure named LOGISTIC, so there is a name conflict. To use SUDAAN's LOGISTIC procedure in SAS you must use the procedure alias, RLOGIST. There are other syntax changes you must make when you use SAS-Callable SUDAAN. There is a complete list in the appendix of the SUDAAN manual.
