What SAS is telling you is that the file you are attempting to access was likely created on a SAS system installed in a different OS platform environment -- only you can determine this fact through investigation, but it's likely that you will need to figure out the problem cause.<BR /> <BR /> For the purpose of "transport" to a different CEDA-compatible OS platform, SAS provides a "transport format" file structure making its database files compatible for transfer between operating platforms. So if you intend to "move SAS application processing" to a different OS, there are definitely migration considerations which are also discussed at the SAS support website.
