Subject:      Export SAS data set directly to .xls file
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I've been trying to Export a SAS data set to an .xls file (Excel 97 format) without involving Excel at all.

I have tried putting SAS variables into an Excel spread sheet using _null_ data statements with 'Excel|System' commands, but find this more difficult than manually exporting with the Export wizard in SAS. I have also tried copying the SAS code created when exporting a SAS file to .csv (comma delimited) with the export wizard, but this code is rather cumbersome and difficult to apply to different data sets and I still have to import it into excel.

Does anybody know of any efficient methods of exporting an entire SAS data set to an .xls file? Your help is appreciated.

Thanks, Doug
