Importing .dbf files created by Visual Fox Pro

[Pitchblend]

I am a new user on a new install trying to read .dbf files.

Any ideas and/or code segments that work would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I use the following code to try and import a .dbf file

Proc Import Out = work.eqr1

Datafile = "C:\Documents and Settings\kmb1777\My Documents\My SAS Files\DATAFORMS\EQRDATA\EQR_TRANSACTION_201103.DBF"

DBMS = DBF REPLACE;

run;

I get the following error in my log file:

Proc Import Out = work.eqr1

374 Datafile = "C:\Documents and Settings\kmb1777\My Documents\My SAS

374! Files\DATAFORMS\EQRDATA\EQR_TRANSACTION_201103.DBF"

375 DBMS = DBF REPLACE;

376 run;

ERROR: Invalid or non-supported file specified.

SAS' dbase engine cannot read Visual FoxPro databases. Within Visual FoxPro, the database must be saved as a FoxPro version 2 dbf to make it compatible with the dbase engine, or you can use the Visual FoxPro ODBC driver or OLE DB provider.
