Efficiently convert a SAS dataset into a CSV?

Question

Can anyone tell me what is the fastest way to programmatically convert a SAS dataset into a CSV file. I know I can use a data step and output to a file etc. But is that the only way? Thanks, Adnan.

Answer 1

proc export data=mysasfile dbms=csv outfile='/mypath/mycsvfile.csv' replace;

Answer 2

It's definitely one reasonable way.

Another:

proc export data = mydataset

outfile='c:\myfiles\myfile.csv'

dbms=csv

replace;

run;
