Using SAS 9.1 Files with Previous Releases

It is possible to move SAS files between your SAS 9.1 session under Windows and Release 6.08 through Release 8.2 of SAS using the CPORT and CIMPORT procedures.

Note: When you transport SAS 9.1 files to previous releases, SAS 9.1 features will not be available from the transport file.
