CHAPTER 4
SAS to R to SAS
The aim of this chapter is to describe one method of passing SAS data from SAS to R, using R to produce a graph, and then passing that graph back to SAS for inclusion in an ODS document. The R programming language provides a wide range of graphical functionality, some of which is unavailable or time-consuming to achieve in SAS—either in SAS/GRAPH or ODS Graphics. The method described here makes this functionality available to SAS applications. You can also adapt these basic principles to create character-based reports using R for inclusion in SAS reports.
