Can my AI agent convert SAS7BDAT to ARROW?
Yes. Install the Filestar CLI with npm install -g filestar and your agent can run filestarcli -i file.sas7bdat -c "convert to arrow" on your computer, so your files stay on it.
A SAS7BDAT file is a SAS dataset: a data table with variable labels and display formats, as SAS writes it.
An Arrow IPC file holds a data table in Apache Arrow's in-memory columnar layout, so it can be memory-mapped and read without conversion. Feather version 2 files are the same format.
