Here's a question that I haven't been able to get an answer from SAS
or driver companies for.

We have a BI tool which we are attempting to pull data from SAS.  Now,
this tool will leverage any v3.5 compliant odbc driver and it runs on
a Solaris operating system.

Here's the issue.  I have no problems connecting to SAS via a windows
odbc driver.  I cannot however find a unix odbc driver and driver
manager which is compatible.  I find lots of stuff about use
SAS/Access to pull other sources into SAS but not pulling data out.
Am I forced to leverage windows or export to flat files?

I have tried the unixodbc.org's open source driver and data direct
states that their driver is incompatible.  I seem to be running out of
options, SAS recommended both of these neither works and they don't
seem to have documentation.

HELP!!!!
