Hi there.
May I please ask how can I associate the format.xpf with the SAS data. I have two files generated from Stata fdasave command i.e. data.xpt and formats.xpf.
In order to browse the SAS data after the first proc copy, I needed to supress the formats in the datastep.
The second 'proc copy' only creates a SAS dataset with variable FMNTNAME, START and LABEL.
Your help is much appreciated.
libname sasfile "\\Desktop\Attempt";
libname xptfile xport "\\Attempt\data.xpt";
proc copy in=xptfile out=sasfile memtype=data; run;
data temp; set sasfile2.data; format _all_; run;
libname xptfile xport "\\Attemp\formats.xpf";
proc copy in=xptfile out=sasfile; run;
