Description

One of the most important features is to be able to read a chunk of SAS and then process it because in the wild there are a lot of large SAS datasets which are 50G~100G in size and they can't fit into memory.

What's stopping wider move away from SAS I think is due to not being able to read the data in chunks and then process it and then read the next chunk.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing SAS reader in ReadStat.jl and determine how it currently loads data; define chunk boundaries and the processing API, then verify that 50G–100G SAS datasets can be handled without fitting in memory.
