Dear friends,

[anilgvdbm]

i have one question to all  i got one sas dataset like datasetname.sd2 extension format when i click open its opening in SAS entreprise. but i dont know how to import into sas 9.3. please give me an solution for that.

[Jagadishkatam · Accepted solution]

libname test v6 "path where the file with extension.sd2 is located";

This is done to tell sas that the data file we are trying to access is a v6 datafile.

We can convert the v6 datafile into version 9.3 by

data want;

     set test.dataset;

run;

we can check if the newly created datafile is changed to the current version of sas or not (.sas7bdat) by.

proc contents data=want;

run;

Thanks,

Dear Sir ,

I am getting this error

"    libname test v6 'D:\District level data\DHS-India\NFHS 1992-93\All-India\HH

  ! raw\IAHH21FL.sd2' ;

ERROR: Library TEST is not in a valid format for access method RANDOM.

Please help in this.

Please try

libname test v6 'D:\District level data\DHS-India\NFHS 1992-93\All-India\HH

  ! raw' ;

just give the folder path, not the file path. Also only the folder path should be in quotes not the libname statement

Thanks
