in this case you should try the XPORT engine:

libname tranfile XPORT "your_file.xpt";

or better:

libname tranfile XPORT 'p:\link5280\zipfiles\lin5280.xpt';
proc copy in=tranfile out=v6lib; run;

Thanks for your help.

I try that, it gives me error message as below.


filename tranfile 'p:\link5280\zipfiles\lin5280.xpt';
5
6          proc cimport library=sasfiles infile=tranfile;
7
8          run;

ERROR: CIMPORT is not able to read version 5 transport data sets.
NOTE: Please refer to the host companion for your operating system.

NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors.
NOTE: The PROCEDURE CIMPORT used 1.27 seconds.


Any idea?
