SAS Program Harness

This repository is contains an example that shows how to use SAS Integration Technologies from a Microsoft .NET application. This version is implemented in C#.

Written by Chris Hemedinger as part of a published paper at SAS Global Forum 2013.

About this example

This sample application has the following features:

• Connects to a SAS Workspace session using a server that you define in a dialog window
• Allows you to connect to a "local" instance of SAS -- no configuration required.
• Features three windows: a program editor, a log viewer, and a listing viewer. (Does that seem familiar?)
• Allows you to run a SAS program on a background thread, keeping the main user interface responsive
• Retrieves the SAS log and listing output, and colors each line of output as appropriate (errors, warnings, notes, page boundaries)
• Provides a simple Data Set viewer: open a data set from SAS library, apply a filter (WHERE= option)
