Drew: There are a couple of ways to suffice your needs. There is a matlab package that writes excel which readily imports into SAS and vice versa. MATLAB can output txt, csv and many others which will import into SAS. There copies of the MATLAB excel package at CDC Atlanta I recall the topic being covered in one of the yearly SAS symposiums. Here’s the classic 5* article on doing it:
