Or, you can use proc cport under 9.1 to move your format catalog to an
export file, then use proc cimport under 9.2 to move the export file into
9.2.  I have done it successfully and extensively here in support of a
large AF application which is catalog-driven.  The datasets you can convert
with proc migrate if necessary.
