CPORT Procedure

Example 1: Exporting Multiple Catalogs

Features:

PROC CPORT statement options::: FILE=; MEMTYPE=

Details

This example shows how to use PROC CPORT to export entries from all of the SAS catalogs in the SAS library that you specify.

Program

libname source 'SAS-data-library';
filename tranfile 'transport-file'
                  
host-option(s)-for-file-characteristics;

proc cport library=source file=tranfile memtype=catalog;
run;

Program Description

Specify the library reference for the SAS library that contains the source files to be exported and the file reference to which the output transport file is written. The LIBNAME statement assigns a libref for the SAS library. The FILENAME statement assigns a fileref and any operating environment options for file characteristics for the transport file that PROC CPORT creates.

libname source 'SAS-data-library';
filename tranfile 'transport-file'
                  
host-option(s)-for-file-characteristics;

Create the transport file. The PROC CPORT step executes on the operating environment where the source library is located. MEMTYPE=CATALOG writes all SAS catalogs in the source library to the transport file.

proc cport library=source file=tranfile memtype=catalog;
run;
