File Format Translation Algorithms
| SAS 6 Translation |
In SAS 6, translation occurs twice for each data transfer between a client and a server that run on computers whose architectures are incompatible.
-
The data is translated from the source computer's native file format to transport format.
-
The data that is represented in transport format is translated to the target computer's native file format.
| SAS 8 (and Later) Translation |
In SAS 8 and later releases of SAS, translation occurs only once for each data transfer between a client and a server that run on computers whose architectures are incompatible. SAS/CONNECT dynamically translates incompatible file formats for each file upload or file download transaction, bypassing the explicit creation of a transport file.
