I want a way to create sas7bdat files which are compatible with version 9.0
I'm using SAS 9.4 version

You might get into trouble if your environment is 64-bit, and the client's is 32-bit only. In that case I'd recommend using proc cport/cimport or the xport engine. Which is probably the best solution anyway.
