- Subject: Transport dataset from VMS to CMS
- Lines: 49

- Hi Folks,
-
- I need some help getting SAS 5.18 under CMS 5 to read a transport dataset
- on a VAX. I've tried the archives and the most useful thing there is a
- reference to a paper on this topic to Tamara Fischel, to which I do not have
- access. Hence this plea.
-
- I'm told the transport file was created on the VAX (SAS 5.18) with the
- following:
-
- libname transfer '[alsobrook.transfer]';
- libname elena '[alsobrook.transfer.elena]';
- PROC COPY in=elena out=transfer export;
- endsas;
-
- The transport format file was then sent to the CMS machine in a piece of
- mail. When I stripped out the mail header and tried to read the resulting file
- with PROC XCOPY, I got:
-

- As is manifestly plain from this query, my ignorance in
- this area is too vast to allow a reasonable guess about
- the cause(s) of the problem so any and all suggestions would be appreciated.
-
- Many thanks, Fraser
