Bring the dataset up in SAS and then use code like the following to
convert it to a SAS portable file:


libname tranfile xport 'c:\my
documents\consult\price01\f040802\saspor2.prt';

proc copy in=work out=tranfile memtype=data;
  select bothmrg;
run;

Then in SPSS use code like:

get sas data='c:\my documents\consult\price01\f040802\saspor2.prt'.
execute.


The stuff after the 'c:...' is the path of the portable file and it
assumes the datasets name in SAS is bothmrg. This works in most versions
of SAS and SPSS.
