MIGRATE Procedure

Migrating a SAS 6 Library

For SAS 6 source libraries, the following operating environments are supported. Find your source operating environment in the first column and read across the row for information about the supported target operating environments.
If your libraries are not supported, see Alternatives to PROC MIGRATE. If only your catalogs are not supported, see Additional Steps for Unsupported Catalogs. For important information about the SLIBREF= option, see Using the SLIBREF= Option.
