Hi Vincent,

If you want to run a script and you
are not returning anything you can
use the X statement or the CALL SYSTEM().
If you are returning goodies then you
can use the FILENAME PIPE capability.



Hope this is helpful.

I need to do heavy parsing / text processing / data mining, and I was
wondering how you can call a Perl script from within SAS.

Please, if possible, post your answer at
