Note: This version is a simplified
version of the CPORT procedure syntax. For the complete syntax and
its explanation, see
CPORT Procedure in Base SAS Procedures Guide.
The CPORT procedure
creates a transport file to later be restored (
imported)
by the CIMPORT procedure. The transport file can contain a SAS data
set, SAS catalog, or an entire SAS library.
Typically, the FILE=
option is used to specify the path of the transport file. The value
of the FILE= option can be a fileref defined in a FILENAME statement
or an environment variable. If this option is omitted, CPORT creates
the default file Sascat.dat in the current directory as the transport
file.
