- I know how frustrating that can be.
-
- There are several types of utility programs which read EBCDIC tapes.
- You might want to look into copying the tape to disk using one of
- these packages and then reading it using SAS (I hope it's a transport file).
-
-
- One such package is E-tape. Another is FOREIGN. E-TAPE is free of
- charge. For a copy or more info contact:
