bdn2csv

bdn2csv is a Python parser that converts SAS Business Data Network (BDN) XML Export file to CSV Import file

As the SAS BDN can be:

• imported from XML or CSV file but
• exported only to XML file,

bdn2csv transforms an XML Export file into an equivalent CSV Import file:

• for a user to edit it manually as a spreadsheet

• for a developer to process it programmatically as a table

and to import the result CSV file into SAS BDN.

Usage

As a module

Example:

import bdn2csv

bdn2csv.convert(xml_path="./Export.xml", csv_path="./Import.csv")

As a CLI

Example:

cd bdn2csv
python bdn2csv.py "./Export.xml" "./Import.csv"
