Overview: The SPD Engine

Interoperability of the Default Base SAS Engine and the SPD Engine Data Sets

Default Base SAS engine data sets must be converted to the SPD Engine format so that the SPD Engine can access them. You can convert the default Base SAS engine data sets easily using the COPY procedure, the APPEND procedure, or a DATA step. (PROC MIGRATE cannot be used.) In addition, most of your existing SAS programs can run on the SPD Engine files with little modification other than to the LIBNAME statement. Creating and Loading SPD Engine Files provides details on converting default Base SAS engine data sets to the SPD Engine format.
