You will need to explain much more about what you are doing.

Do you have a BINARY file that has values in packed decimal that you want to READ?

Do you have a DATASET that you want to use to create a BINARY file that has packed decimal in it?

What does the front end tool Enterprise Guide have to do with the problem?

Where is the SAS sessions that you are using EG to create running? Are they running on the same machine where you are running EG? Or are you connecting to some server? What operating system is that server running?

Yes I have a binary file which is in the mainframe environment which I am reading and want to migrate the same code into SAS EG environment and where I want to write.

But since the code is in Mainframe environment and wanting to rewrite the the SAS code in SAS EG ,am facing issue with variable which contain PD 6.2 format

EG is only a frontend to the SAS system; the important fact is where the SAS workspace server runs.

Is the WS local on the same computer with EG, or on a remote server?

And if a remote server, which operating system? Windows, UNIX, or even the same mainframe you already use?

Note that the (syntactically invalid, BTW) example code you posted writes a file, it does not read it.

Please post the complete mainframe code which reads a file on the mainframe.

This is how the code looks like.
I want to write the same code in Linux ,but variable which have PD6.2 and IB2value is not giving proper output.

DATA _NULL_;

SET PCE_PURCH ;

IF VALIDID = 'Y' THEN
DO;

So you do not read a file, you write one.

Since you do run this code on a non-mainframe platform, using the S370... formats is in order:

S370FPDw.d Format

S370FIBw.d Format

Note that, for this to be read on the mainframe, all transfers have to be done in binary mode.
