SAS/SHARE Version 6 to Version 7 and Version 8 Cross-Version Issues : Explicitly Converting Data from Version 6 to Version 7 or Version 8 Format
Rather than limiting your access to Version 6 formatted files
or Version 7 or Version 8 formatted files, you can convert all your data from
one format to another. Conversion procedures are based on several factors,
including what your host platform is and the SAS member that is being converted.
See Moving and Accessing SAS Files across Operating Environments for details about strategies for converting data from Version
6 to Version 7 or Version 8 format.
