We are moving from a Windows based SAS grid to a Linux based one in the next few months. At the moment we store all our SAS datasets as spde files because of their size. However the SAS program we have been given by the SAS Institute, cannot move spde files and they have advised us to uncompress all the datasets before migration. Is there a way to do this decompression in bulk? At the moment I can read in one dataset at a time then output it as a normal SAS dataset, migrate it across to the new grid, then recompress it there. We've estimated it will take a staff member 2 weeks full-time to do this. If we could do it in bulk it would greatly reduce our timeframes. I've attached the migration code for reference. For info we have gone from SAS EG version 7.15 64 bit, to 7.15 32 bit for Linux.
