Question

User1122355199 posted

Hello everyone and thanks for your help in advance.  I need to convert a set of SAS to VB.Net but have never worked with SAS and really know nothing about it.  There is a page with the formulas that I need to convert located at : http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpao/growthcharts/resources/who-source-code.sas I really need to figure out how to convert this but don't know where to start.  Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Kmcnet,

you can visit the SAS website. they have provided a code samples for Vb.Net and C#.Net.

something like below.

' VB6 code
' Primary interface declared as coclass name (without the leading "I").
Dim ws as new SAS.Workspace
Dim fref as SAS.Fileref
Dim name as string
Set fref = ws.FileService.AssignFileref("myfilref", _
"DISK", "c:\myfile.txt", "", name)
' Secondary interface must use COM interface name (requires "I").
' There is no "SAS.FileInfo" because this is only an interface,
' not an object (coclass).
Dim finfo as SAS.IFileInfo
' Call a method on the default interface.
debug.print fref.FilerefName
' Obtain a reference to the secondary interface on the object.
set finfo = fref
' Make a call using the secondary interface.
debug.print finfo.PhysicalName

They also provide a support for this. so if you have any question regarding SAS you can ask there.

These are some links of there website.
