[R] How to use IML with R and SAS

The SAS/IML documentation on calling R is at
http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/imlug/64248/HTML/default/viewer.htm#r_toc.htm
Other ways to get help include calling SAS Technical Support (it's free) and
posting your question to the SAS/IML Discussion forum at
http://communities.sas.com/community/sas_iml_and_sas_iml_studio

I'd like to see an example of what you're trying to do, but here are few
general ways to do this:
1) Call R in a loop from SAS/IML. At each iteration, generate each matrix or
data frame, export it to a SAS matrix or data set, and do the analysis.
2) While the previous option is conceptually easy, it might be more
efficient to generate all the data with a single call to R, export it all to
SAS, and then use SAS to analyze each subset of the data.

I don't usually monitor this R forum, so if you want further details might
want to use one of the options in the first paragraph.
