This is part 1 of a tutorial on making the changes necessary to run SAS programs on SLC.

This program first imports 2 SAS7BDAT datasets, converts them into WPD datasets, then merges them and exports the merged dataset as a WPD dataset. It may be necessary to update all libname statements to point to the data being referenced. To do this, navigate to where you have stored the datasets. I have stored them in the data folder. Clicking on any dataset in this location populates the properties window. The properties window includes the item path, and this can be copied from here and then pasted into the appropriate libname statement. WPD is the SLC proprietary file format and optimized for use with SLC. To save files as WPD, simply update the libname statement library format from SAS7BDAT to WPD. The program files are saved to WPD format and all libname statements are updated accordingly.
