Datastage Connectivity to SAS DataSets

Hi All,
Can we directly connect to SAS DataSets from DataStage. To put in another way, does DataStage provide any Stages (Plugin) to connect to SAS DataSet?

Any input on this will be of grreat help.

Thanks in Advance,
Tom.

Only in parallel jobs, as far as I am aware, where there is an SAS Dataset stage.

If you have Windows as DataStage Server you can get SAS-Data easily via ODBC. Otherwise you can purchase a third-party SAS-ODBC-Driver for UNIX.
