About

OpenSAS is an open-source, SAS 9.4-compatible interpreter written in Zig that produces byte-for-byte matching output to proprietary SAS across full clinical pipelines (SDTM, ADaM). It was built entirely by a coordinated team of seven coding agents using only public SAS documentation, comprising 87,795 lines of code, 3,548 commits, and over 2,600 unit and conformance tests, and runs on Linux, Windows, macOS, and in-browser.

What it does

An interpreter that executes scripts written in the SAS statistical programming language, running its data-processing steps and procedures directly so results can be produced and checked, primarily framed for producing clinical trial datasets and analysis outputs used in regulatory submissions.

Stated on the product site

Platform
Runs across desktop operating systems as well as in a web browser.
Architecture
The project describes its implementation as having no external dependencies.
Interface
Provides a browser-based playground for writing and running SAS programs without local installation.
Scope
Coverage is targeted at the subset of the language needed for clinical SDTM and ADaM data pipelines rather than the full SAS ecosystem.
Development model
Distributed as an open-source project hosted on GitHub that accepts outside pull requests.

Not stated on the site

  • Which open-source license governs use and redistribution of the project is not stated on the page.
  • The full range of SAS statements, procedures, and formats supported beyond the clinical SDTM and ADaM subset is not detailed.
  • Whether any paid hosting, support, or enterprise offering exists alongside the interpreter is not mentioned.
