Answer / vasu
we can get the data into sas environment but while getting
the data into sas environment we should keep in mind that
whether the data is in alligined in proper order if not
then use some softwarw like edit plus.
After that we can get the data into sas by the following
ways
1. using datalines
2.using infile statement
3.using dde triplet
uing any one of the above we can get the any kind of
relational or non-relational data into sas.
