The MIGRATE Procedure

Example 3: Migrating without SLIBREF= on the Same Computer

Tip:

You can use the PROC MIGRATE Calculator on the SAS web site at http://support.sas.com/rnd/migration/planning/files/migratecalc/, which provides the PROC MIGRATE syntax needed for your specific migration.

Tip:

You are encouraged to run PROC MIGRATE with validation tools. See Migrating a Library with Validation Tools.

Procedure features:

MIGRATE statement options:

	IN=
	OUT=

In this example, the source and target libraries are on one computer, and the SLIBREF= option is not required. (See Using the SLIBREF= Option to learn whether SLIBREF= is required.) Because the source and target are on one computer, this example assigns the source library to the IN= argument directly.

Program

libname source <engine> 'source-library-pathname';
libname target base 'target-library-pathname-on-same-computer';

proc migrate in=source out=target; 
run;
