Next: proc gmap, strange rotation at random

We use IHS Global Insight Data for forecasting. Currently the process is
very manual. Analyst waits for notification from GI that data is
available. Analyst logs into website. Analyst saves excel spreadsheet
from GI website locally. We use SAS to read in the data from excel.

We would like this feed to be more automatic and less manual. We have
investigated GI IDDS service and found that there is an xml feed. However,
the XML file does not arrive in a form that SAS can read directly.

Is anyone using the IDDS xml downloads in SAS? How do you do this?

Alternately, does anyone have a process that logs into the myinsight
websight and reads the data file from the URL?

We are currently using SAS 9.1.3

Any help, suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
