Table 11.1 summarizes the subroutines that copy data from a SAS source to an R destination. For more information, see the section Details of Data Transfer.

As a simple example, the following program transfers a data set from the Sashelp libref into an R data frame named df. The program then submits an R statement that displays the names of the variables in the data frame.
proc iml;
call ExportDataSetToR("Sashelp.Class", "df" );
submit / R;
names(df)
endsubmit;
The R names function produces the output shown in Figure 11.2.
