Subject:   SAS92 32-BIT TO SAS92 64-BIT problem
Content-Type:   text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

I now have SAS 9.2 64-bit running under Windows XP-64.

In going back to read a SAS data set that I created in SAS92 32-bit I find that I can read the data set if I have not attached formats, but cannot if I created user-provided formats.

I usually have a separate program that creates the format library. Thus, if I could strip out the user provided formats from the permanent SAS data set I could run the format program to create 64-bit compatible formats and then re-run the program that I used to attach the labels and formats to the variables.

Now... How to strip the user provided formats out of a sas 9.2 32-bit permanent data set using SAS 9.2 64-bit?

As always, any help appreciated.
