It is OK to ignore this warning unless and until you have a problem with using additional CPU resources or with performance reduction. Not generally a problem with relatively small datasets (<100,000 obs)....

Hello all,

I am getting following note when I am using the datasets that are generated on VMS Operating System. I am using them for my analysis on windows.Is it Okay to Ignore the note or  Can I do to get away with this note.

NOTE: Data file S_IMPORT.SD.DATA is in a format native to another host or the file encoding
      does not match the session encoding. Cross Environment Data Access will be used, which
      may require additional CPU resources and reduce performance.
      Run;
