Idea #99: Add export LimeSurvey results to SAS.

Written by mga the 3 Feb 10 at 18:43. Related project: 2.x all. Status: New

Rationale

SAS is a powerful statistics application that's pretty broadly used. LimeSurvey already supports exporting results to R and SPSS, which are good packages, but many of our users prefer to use SAS.

We'd like to see support for exporting LimeSurvey data into a format SAS can use, as has been done for SPSS and R.

Solution #1: Add export option for SAS

Written by mga the 3 Feb 10 at 18:43.

As was done for R and SPSS, add an export option for SAS.

SAS can import CSV if needed, but our users are asking for something that's easier - like they see for SPSS in LimeSurvey.

SAS can read SPSS files if need be, so I guess that's another option:

though it would be nice to be able to export directly in SAS format.
