Try this:
data have;
i=1;
run;
proc contents data=have;run;/*this will tell you the current default engine SAS is using*/
/*This is to create a V8 library*/
libname v_8 v8 "h:\temp\v8";
/*Do the conversion*/
data v_8.have_v8;
set have;run;
/*To verify the engine of new table as V8*/
proc contents data=v_8.have_v8;run;

Yaswanth,
Haikuo's solution will create SAS V8 formatted data sets; we use it regularly. If your client's requirement is truly to create the datasets "with SAS V8.0", then you have no choice but to license the old version. Sometimes people in regulated industries are very specific about the software used as well as the data format.
I don't know of any way to back convert SAS catalogs in V8 (e.g. format libraries), so that may be a gotcha.

perhaps there is still the V7 engine which V8.0 should easily be able to read
