As I can see that shimmer of light at the end of the tunnel I have to start thinking "what do I do with a binary SAS reader/writer?"
I originally started down this path with the goal of avoiding having to read/write SAS using XML Now that I am nearing the finish, I am trying to determine what comes after this (other than a quiet, non-working evening).
Where I am leaning right now is an Excel add-in or something in that space. I think Excel/SAS is one of the biggest areas of opportunity and an area that frankly does not get enough attention, IMO. SQL Server add-ins are another possible option so SAS can be supported in SSIS. It is early in this mulling period though so I would appreciate any thoughts people have on what they would like to see.
