If it were your dataset on Unix, you would conventionally write
a transport file with the XPORT engine, and then read that file
on windows. This is necessary because SAS, inexplicably, will
not read its own files from a different platform.
Another way to do this is to use the current version of Stat/Transfer,
which will read your Unix SAS files and convert them to .sd2 files for
your PC (or most anyhing else you might want). For information see
