Converting Quantum data and programs with qtsas
Quick reference
To create a qtsas data description and data set, run Quantum using the version that does not delete its intermediate files (or use the –k option with the standard version). Then type:
qtsas [–p=language]
language is the one to three character code of the language required for the output. For this to be successful, translations must be available in this language in the ptf file.
More information
qtsas is a postprocessor to Quantum which converts a Quantum program and data file into an SAS data description file with a transformed data set which matches that data description.
There are two ways you can benefit from using this program:
▪You do not have to write the SAS specification to match the raw data (this would be the procedure without qtsas).
▪Any complicated editing done in the Quantum edit is already implemented in the SAS data set.
