SASweave?

I do not use SAS but whoever do are welcome to contribute to https://github.com/yihui/knitr/blob/master/R/engine.R

Again, it is nothing a call system('sas code.sas -print label.log'), but it might be slightly more complicated than other languages because of the old-fashioned "log-and-output-everything" nature of SAS. Even you just say hello world, you may get 30 lines of output in which only 1 line is useful. There might be options to suppress the proud logs, though.

The design of knitr has taken care of some gory details in SASweave (http://homepage.cs.uiowa.edu/~rlenth/SASweave/), and two challenges remain:

• clean up the text output
• how to deal with graphics output (well, who cares...)

In the end we can write code chunks like this

<<engine='sas'>>=
data _null_;
put 'Hello, world!';
run;
