How to convert WPD datasets to SAS7BDAT datasets?

To convert .wpd datasets to .sas7bdat datasets you can use PROC COPY with the appropriate database engine.

For example, suppose you have .wpd datasets located at c:\Temp\altairslc\DATASET1.wpd etc … and an empty folder called c:\Temp\sas.

The following code should generate an equivalent dataset1.sas7bdat dataset in C:\Temp\sas.

libname alib "C:\Temp\altairslc";
libname slib sas7bdat "C:\Temp\sas";
proc copy in=alib out=slib;
run;

and will convert *all* WPD datasets in c:\Temp\altairslc to sas7bdat datasets in c:\Temp\sas.
