https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Management/converting-ssd04-to-sas7bdat/m-p/65307#M583 Hi Folks,<BR /> <BR /> I have an old SAS data file with extension of .ssd04. How could I convert it to .sas7bdat? I am using UNIX SAS on AIX 5.3 (AIX 64) platfom. SAS version is 9.2 (TS2M0) release. Thanks.<BR /> <BR /> Richard Thu, 12 May 2011 15:12:08 GMT richard_hu2003 2011-05-12T15:12:08Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Management/converting-ssd04-to-sas7bdat/m-p/65307#M583 Hi Folks,<BR /> <BR /> I have an old SAS data file with extension of .ssd04.

I suggest that questions like this in the future be posted to Base SAS dicussion forum rather than DI. <BR /> <BR /> ssd04 is a Unix V6 SAS Data Set<BR /> <BR /> This topic describes 9.2 support for V6 datasets and how to use them:<BR /> <A href="http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/hostunx/61879/HTML/default/viewer.htm#a002256555.htm" target="_blank">http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/hostunx/61879/HTML/default/viewer.htm#a002256555.htm</A> <BR /> <BR /> As per the doc above, there is a V6 read-only engine in 9.2. The data set has to be the same unix 'flavor' as the environment you are running. If you are not able to access the above link, then I suggest they open a track with SAS Technical Support and they will grant you access.
