Hi,
Maybe as the following in Perl

&write_sas_files;
&run_sas;
&read_results;

sub write_sas_file {
    # read data from somethere
    # write them into a input data file
    open DATA, ">$project.dat" or die "$project.dat $!\n";
    printf DATA "....",$var...;
    ....
    close DATA;
    # write a sas file
    open SAS, ">$sas_file" or die "$sas_file $!\n";
    printf SAS "......",$var...;
    ......
   close SAS;
}

sub run_sas {
    system "sas $sas_file";
}

sub read_results {
    open LST, $sas_lst or die "$sas_lst $!\n";
    while (<LST>){
       ....
    }
    close LST;
}
