not recommended.
remember you have to declare an engine in your libname statement.
libname LIBRARY <engine in (v6,v7,v8)> '<libref>';

if you want to process data sets from both versions
-- for instance, in a proc COMPARE --
you will need two libnames referring to the same libref:
LIBNAME LIBV6   V6 '<same libref>';
LIBNAME LIBRARY V8 '<same libref>';
