Moving and Accessing SAS Files across Operating Environments

Recommended Audience

This information is designed for the persons who are responsible for moving or accessing SAS files across operating environments. Often, the person who performs tasks at the source host is different from the person who performs tasks at the target host. Typically, someone creates a transport file for output to a magnetic medium, which is sent to the target host site. At the remote site, someone mounts the medium and restores the transport file to the target host native format. Alternatively, if two hosts are connected by a network, the transport file can be transferred to the target host over the network. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) can be used at either the source host or the target host for transferring the transport file.

This book is intended for operating system administrators, network administrators, applications developers, and experienced SAS users.
