Improvement: Reading SAS INFORMATs seems to be there, but Writing them out to SAS formats like XPT is not?

[DanteDT]

Based on issue and discussion in pyreadstat (and related R haven discussion).

Improvement request: SAS INFORMATS are available to write to SAS file formats, since it looks like they are read in.

SAS INFORMATs are read in?

• read in by readstat_xport_read.c
• related pyreadstat discussion
• related R haven discussion

Thank you for your consideration!

Interesting. The INFORMAT is currently read in, but not actually saved or stored anywhere.

Try this: #335

Thank you, Evan! I will try that out.

Works great for me, via pyreadstat. Thanks!
