How do I read a sas7bdat file into C

Question

I’m on my journey to learn how to code C. I’m coming from python so it is quiet a jump.

Could anyone tell me how to read a sas7bdat file into C data structs dynamically? Meaning I don’t know how many rows or columns are in the data file itself until I get them in.

Or is this not possible?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Use the python sas7bdat library. I am not aware of an open source C variant.
