Gehard / Peter:

Thanks to Gehard Hellriegel and Peter Crawford for their
suggestions on converting SAS v6 format libraries to SAS v8
libraries on our S/390.

 ===========================================================================

From Peter --

proc format library=<v6.formats> cntlout = work.bigcntl ;
proc format library=<v8.formats> cntlin  = work.bigcntl ; run;


 ===========================================================================

From Gehard --

... for the problem with lost Format-lib-source: there is an easy
way out!

Use

proc format lib=old.library cntlout=temp;
proc format lib=new.library cntlin=temp;
run;

to do the conversion.
