LIBNAME saslib 'C:\mysasdir\' PROC CPORT LIBRARY=saslib FILE='C:\mysasdir\transport.exp' RUN Using 32-bit SAS, export the contents (both datasets and formats catalogs) of C:\mysasdir to file transport.exp. Be sure to complete this before your 32-bit SAS license expires! Here is some sample code:
This requires you to have access to 32-bit SAS during the migration process. Lacking original SAS code, export the formats catalog using 32-bit SAS, then import using 64-bit SAS. If you have the original SAS code, simply run that code using 64-bit SAS. If you have formats catalogs created with 32-bit SAS, you will need to re-create them using 64-bit SAS. SAS Formats catalogs (.sas7bcat files) are NOT compatible between 32-bit and 64-bit SAS. For improved efficiency, convert the dataset to 64-bit, using PROC CPORT/CIMPORT, discussed below. However, doing this will create some inefficiency, as SAS will be doing the conversion 'on-the-fly'. SAS datasets (.sas7bdat files) created with 32-bit SAS can be read directly using 64-bit SAS.
