How to convert WPD datasets to SAS7BDAT datasets?

Nico Chart_21517

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.
