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 about converting default Base SAS engine
data sets to the SPD Engine format.
