This chapter gives detailed examples that show how to create, transfer, and restore transport files between two operating environments. Table 13.1 on page 84 describes the basic characteristics of each example:
Members to Move | From Source Machine and SAS Version | To Target Machine and SAS Version | Using Strategy |
---|---|---|---|
Data sets | OpenVMS Alpha 6.12 | UNIX 8 | XPORT engine with PROC COPY |
Data sets and catalogs | z/OS 6.09 | Windows 8 | PROC CPORT and PROC CIMPORT |
Data sets | JCL Batch z/OS 6.09 | UNIX 9 | XPORT engine with PROC COPY |
Although the examples are operating environment-specific , the fundamental SAS command syntax for all transport methods is identical across operating environment types. The noteworthy syntax difference among operating environment types is how you specify the SAS data library name in the LIBNAME statement. For complete details about the syntax for the LIBNAME statement, see your operating environment companion documentation.
