By default, when you
create a new file, SAS uses the data representation of the CPU that
is running SAS. You can specify the OUTREP= option to override this
default.
The OUTREP=
option is both a SAS data set option and a LIBNAME statement option.
The data set option applies to an individual file. The LIBNAME statement
option applies to an entire library. This option uses CEDA to create
a file that has a different data representation.
For example, in a UNIX
environment, you can create a data set with the data representation
of WINDOWS_32. If you move that data set to a Windows environment
and process the data set with 32-bit SAS for Windows, you do not invoke
CEDA.
See the OUTREP= option
for the LIBNAME statement in
SAS Statements: Reference or see
the OUTREP= data set option in
SAS Data Set Options: Reference.
