  • The XPORT engine supports only members of type DATA. It does not support members of type CATALOG or VIEW.

  • The XPORT engine supports a feature set that is compatible with SAS 6. The XPORT engine cannot support SAS 9 features, such as long variable names. Warning or error messages report limitations that are encountered during the transport operation. For details about typical error messages and recovery actions, see File library.member.DATA has too long a member name for the XPORT engine.
