I have an old AF system I'm trying to convert. I no longer have access to 6.x version it was created on and can't seem to read the files. Can anyone help me get these converted to SCL files,

I appreciate any assistance.

What OS was the SAS V6 catatog created under? It would have to be under the same OS you are now trying to read it. Also a V6 catalog is likely 32-bit. What bitness SAS are you trying to read it with?

 

You could try a test like this:

libname mytest v6 '\MyV6folder';
proc catalog cat=mytest.MyCat;
   contents;
run;
quit;

Please post the SAS log from this test.

I can't remember exact Windows version, but files were created 25 years ago. Definitely 32 bit. Trying to read with 64 bit. My research says can't do that. Need some with older version to convert files to scl for me. Will also do suggested proc catalog.

I would contact SAS tech support for suggestions. They are likely to have access to a SAS 6 version somewhere.
