What you need to do Get with your local IT team! Install SAS. You need access to the CRPFA flat file. The file that is created is stored locally in the XCCF.DIRECTORY. The next time the CRPFA process runs, it will delete the file in XCCF.DIRECTORY and build a new one. You need to move this to a place your SAS program can read. You need space on a shared drive to store the SAS datasets. Modify the SAS Data Store ETL.egp for your local server information. Modify the SAS Data Store Reports.egp to point to your local server created by the ETL. Always remember PII and FERPA rules! 11/20/2014 12
What s in it for me? Ability to match System Office reports with CPRFA data. If they don t match tell us and we will investigate. Create time based reporting for comparison semester over semester. Easy access to vast amounts of data types across your student population. Create standard reports with easy access each semester 11/20/2014 13
