Hi Murray

Just a quick thought - without offering code (though it's simple to use) -
have you tried PROC CPORT and PROC CIMPORT? I've often used these two
procedures before without any problems. If you're having trouble let me know
and if I have time I'll put together an example for you.

Hi All,

          This one has me stumped. I'm trying to transfer a PC SAS 612
dataset to unix running sas 611.

On the PC side I start with:

libname in 'c:\temp';
libname newfile 'c:\temp\pcfile.dat';
proc copy IN=in OUT=newfile MEMTYPE=DATA;
run;

which creates 'pcfile.dat'  I ftp the file in binary to a unix box.

and use the following

libname in XPORT 'pcfile.dat';
libname out '';
proc copy IN=in OUT=out;
run;

the error I get is

         2          libname out '';
         ERROR: Module SASPCEN0 not found in search paths.
         ERROR: Error in the LIBNAME or FILENAME statement.

is there some other method to transfer PC files?????

any ideas?????????

thanks in advance
