Hi there. Please respond by email as my usenet browser is hosed. I'm interested in sharing insights with anyone who's tried to use SAS software as an analytic engine interacting with ESRI's ArcView GIS software. ArcView delivers the spatial analysis I need, but SAS delivers the advanced statistical features I also need. Integrating the two systems would be great for QA, sampling, and visualization in general. For example, how does one (relatively) seamlessly exchange analysis results between the spatial and tabular database worlds. Is a link between SAS and ArcView SDE middleware a good idea, is it absolutely necessary, or is it not currently possible? Many thanks in advance for your consideration. -- Robin Way Director, Market Research NW Natural 220 NW Second Avenue, Suite 725 Portland, Oregon 97209 email: rew@nwnatural.com Web: http://www.nwnatural.com voice: 503-226-4211 x2491 fax: 503-721-2539 NASDAQ: NWNG

I do this quite a bit, but, alas, the only way I can do it is to output the tables as an ascii file, and then read the ascii file into SAS. I think that the tables are actually dbf files, which I've heard rumors that you can import them into SAS. If anyone has pointers on how to do this, I'd really appreciate it myself. Joe
