Beyond SAS

SAS to Databricks · On-prem, air-gapped, or cloud

Your next SAS renewal can be your last. Prove every row.

SAS2PY is enterprise software that converts Base SAS, macros, Enterprise Guide, and DI Studio code into native Databricks, Snowflake, BigQuery, or Python. Parsers convert 95%+ of typical SAS code, MigryX AI fixes the rest, and every row is validated against the SAS output before you switch SAS off.

Parsers do the conversion Every row checked Published pricing Runs in your data center

Why SAS migrations stall

Why do SAS migrations stall?

Three reasons: the SAS renewal arrives before the plan is ready, DATA steps and macros are rewritten by hand, and nobody can prove the new output matches SAS. SAS2PY is built to remove each one.

The renewal clock

The SAS renewal arrives before the migration plan is ready, so SAS gets another multi-year contract.

Parsers convert most of the SAS code, so the plan is ready before the renewal is.

The hand rewrite

Consultants rewrite DATA steps, PROCs, and macros by hand. It is slow, costly, and every rewrite is a new chance to change a number.

Deterministic parsers give the same output every run. MigryX AI handles the macros they can't.

No proof it matches

Risk and audit teams won't sign off on "it looks right." Without evidence, cutover slips and SAS keeps running beside the new platform.

Every result is compared to the SAS output row by row, and the report is the evidence.

How it works

How does SAS2PY convert and validate SAS code? Parsers, AI, then proof on every row.

Every SAS job runs the same four-step loop: parsers convert, Data Matching validates row by row against the SAS output, MigryX AI fixes what differs, and the result is checked again. Nothing is accepted until the outputs match.

Then · Hand offAccepted code and its evidence go to your platform's own scheduler, such as Databricks Workflows or Airflow, so SAS can be switched off. After go-live, Atlas keeps the lineage current.

Which platforms can SAS move to?

Databricks, PySpark, Polars, Snowflake, AWS Glue, BigQuery, Microsoft Fabric, and Iceberg, from Base SAS, macros, PROC SQL, DI Studio, Enterprise Guide, or Viya. Pick a SAS workload and a target. We rewrite it as native code for that platform — not SAS sitting on a cheaper server.

Why this is different

Is SAS2PY lift-and-shift?

No. Lift-and-shift moves SAS onto a cloud VM, or wraps DATA steps in Python that still runs one row at a time, so you keep SAS. SAS2PY rewrites the workload as native code for the platform you actually want to run.

Lift-and-shift

  • SAS on a cheaper server
  • A SAS-compatible runtime — you still write SAS
  • Line-by-line Python that still processes one row at a time
  • You keep the license, the skills gap, and the overnight window

Modernization

  • Deterministic, parser-driven rewrite to Spark, SQL, and Python, with AI where it helps
  • PROCs and macros become native, readable code
  • Every output checked against the original, row by row
  • SAS can actually leave

Why SAS2PY

How does SAS2PY compare with other ways to leave SAS?

SAS2PY parses the code; the alternatives guess, rehost, or rewrite by hand. General-purpose LLM tools guess. SAS-compatible runtimes and vendor cloud moves keep you in SAS. Manual rewrite engagements run for years. SAS2PY parses your code with purpose-built compilers, then proves every row matches the original.

Ways to leave SAS SAS2PY AI / LLM tools Services firms (manual rewrite)

95%+ of typical code converted deterministically ✓ ✗ ✗

Pricing

How is SAS2PY priced?

Per line of SAS code, at rates published on our site. No per-consultant rates and no "contact us for a quote" to get a first number. The free assessment counts your SAS code, and the pricing page turns that count into a cost.

Deployment

Where does SAS2PY run?

As a hosted SaaS portal at app.migryx.com with nothing to install, or self-hosted in your own environment — Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift, or a Windows VM. Self-hosted, your SAS code never leaves your network.

FAQ

Common questions from migration teams

Is this lift-and-shift?

No. Lift-and-shift puts SAS on a cheaper server, or wraps DATA steps in Python that still process one row at a time. We rewrite the workload as native Spark, SQL, and Python, then prove every row matches the original.

How accurate is the conversion?

Deterministic parsers convert 95%+ of typical SAS code out of the box, and MigryX AI proposes fixes for ambiguous macros and undocumented logic. Whatever the mix, nothing is accepted until row-level parity passes, and the validation report is the proof.

Does our code leave our network?

Not unless you choose to. Self-hosted SAS2PY runs on-premises or in your own cloud — Docker, Kubernetes, or OpenShift, air-gapped capable — and your code never leaves your environment. Prefer zero setup? The SaaS portal at app.migryx.com runs the same engine in our secure cloud.

What is automated SAS migration, and how is it different from a manual rewrite?

Automated migration uses a parser that reads SAS (DATA steps, PROCs, macros, DI Studio jobs) and generates equivalent Spark, SQL, or Python, the same way every run. A manual rewrite has consultants read each program and retype it, which is slow, costly, and introduces a new chance of error in every program. SAS2PY automates the conversion and the proof; people review exceptions instead of rewriting code.

What does row-level parity validation mean?

The converted job and the original SAS job run on the same input, and Data Matching compares the two outputs row by row on key columns, then compares row counts, sums, nulls, and distinct values. Every difference is listed in an exception report with the row, the column, and the values. A job is accepted only when that report is empty, and the report is the evidence kept for auditors.

Deterministic parsers or LLM-only conversion: which is safer for regulated SAS code?

Parsers. A parser produces the same output every run, so results are repeatable and reviewable, which is what audit and model-risk teams require. An LLM can produce different code each time and cannot guarantee it preserved the SAS logic. SAS2PY uses parsers for the 95%+ of code they handle, applies MigryX AI only to the macros they cannot resolve, and validates every AI change row by row before it is accepted.

How much does a SAS migration cost, and how does per-line pricing work?

Two parts: a platform fee of $9,900 per year per installation, and MigryX Conversion Units (MCUs) at $90 list. One MCU is one simple 500-line SAS program; complex macros and DI Studio jobs draw more MCUs per program. Prepaying 100 MCUs earns 10% off, rising to 50% at 5,000. Installations licensed in India, Southeast Asia, Latin America, or Africa pay 65% of these rates. Basic discovery is included; the pricing page turns your SAS line count into a figure.

How does SAS2PY compare with other SAS to PySpark tools?

Databricks Lakebridge, Snowflake SnowConvert AI, and BigQuery Migration Service convert SQL dialects well but do not parse SAS macros or DI Studio. SAS-compatible runtimes such as Altair SLC keep you writing SAS. General-purpose LLM tools generate plausible code with no repeatability or proof. Manual rewrite engagements run for years. SAS2PY combines purpose-built SAS parsers, AI for the remainder, row-level validation, and a signed evidence pack, for any target platform. The comparison table above is dated September 2026.

How do you migrate SAS to Databricks step by step?

1. Run the free assessment to inventory the SAS estate and size it. 2. Convert with the SAS parsers to PySpark and Delta; MigryX AI handles the macros they cannot resolve. 3. Run both versions on the same data and validate row by row with Data Matching. 4. Fix exceptions and re-check until the report is clean. 5. Hand accepted jobs to Databricks Workflows and switch SAS off. Details on the SAS to Databricks page.

Where is SAS2PY based, and which regions does it serve?

SAS2PY is built by MigryX, with offices in Indianapolis, USA and Hyderabad, India, and serves customers in North America, Europe, the UK, the Middle East, India, Southeast Asia, Australia, and Latin America. Software is delivered as self-hosted installs or through the SaaS portal, so location does not limit deployment. Growth-region pricing applies where the installation is licensed.
