Migration
Execution: Migrate Files
Special Topic: Alternatives to PROC MIGRATE
PROC MIGRATE is not supported under the following circumstances:-
Source libraries that were created under a SAS 8.2 CMS, OS/2, OpenVMS VAX, or 64-bit AIX operating environment are not supported.
-
Source libraries that were created under a 64-bit Windows source environment are supported only for a 64-bit Windows target environment.
-
Some SAS 6 source environments are not supported. For a list of supported SAS 6 operating environments, see the SAS 6 table in Supported Operating Environments for PROC MIGRATE.
To migrate across operating environments that cannot use PROC MIGRATE, use the following process:
-
Under the source installation of SAS, use one of the conversion procedures, PROC COPY, PROC CPORT or PROC UPLOAD, to create a transport file containing your source library.
-
Under the target installation of SAS, use PROC COPY, PROC CIMPORT or PROC DOWNLOAD to convert the transport file to a SAS 9 library.
For more information about conversion procedures, see Moving and Accessing SAS Files and the Base SAS Procedures Guide in the SAS online documentation.
