You're going to have to load the original data table somehow - either with a DATA step or PROC COPY or the like, so why not just load it into CAS and save it out as SASHDAT? Should be pretty efficient...&nbsp;</P> Wed, 23 Nov 2022 21:00:06 GMT SASJedi 2022-11-23T21:00:06Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/how-to-create-hdat-format-without-load-in-memory-data/m-p/845815#M334381 <P>Hi everybody,</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I want to know if it is possible to create hdat format file without take the step of loading in memory the dataset first and then save as hdat.
