What is the best non-SAS IDE for the SAS Language? [closed]

Question

I am working on SAS code that will run under UNIX. Ideally the IDE will have:

• intelligent code formatting (autocomplete is not necessary).
• ability to transfer code to server via SFTP/SSH/SCP.
• Ability to execute code on the server via ssh and -e
• Ability to pull the logs back down and have those formatted as well.

Thoughts?

I'm looking at MultiEdit Lite for SAS (it seems to have the functionality but actually LOOKS horrible.. so bad its distracting). Any others? Can Eclipse act as a SAS IDE?

Answer 1

I haven't tried it yet, but it looks like using myEclipse along with the plugin SLink from anixma, will provide support for everything listed, including SSH execution of code on remote UNIX servers as well as local execution if you've got sas.exe already installed.

Answer 2

VSick from SlickEdit inc can do this - and more.

It is not free, but it is powerful.
