Hi Lyman,
    Try the SASSFIO.  It will do the conversion automatically for you.
 
example:
 
  *--------------------------------------------------------*;
  * SASSFIO engine                                         *
  * Access a UNIX SAS dataset from a PC SAS environment    *
  *--------------------------------------------------------*;
 
libname test sassfio
        'yoursystem://yourpath/datasetA.ssd01'
        user="userid"
        pass="password"
        ;
 
options obs=10;
proc print data=test.datasetA;
run;
 
Note: Typically the LIBNAME points to a directory, which will refer to many
files.
         When using the SASSFIO you specify the path and the filename,
because
         it is pointing to only one file.
