Thank you Joe!

I tried Proc CPORT and it also shows that the library which has V6 SAS data XX.ssd01 is empty. It seems that V6 datasets are not readable in Version 9...

1147  libname adata9 'c:\newdata';
NOTE: Libname ADATA9 refers to the same physical library as NEWLIB.
NOTE: Libref ADATA9 was successfully assigned as follows:
      Engine:        V9
      Physical Name: c:\newdata
1148  filename tranfile 'c:\newdata\a_demo.ssd01';
1149  proc cport library=adata9 file=tranfile;
1150  run;

I am not an expert in this area, but I think you might need to use PROC CPORT for this rather than PROC COPY.

Hi,

I am trying to convert a SAS V6 dataset xx.ssd01 to SAS V9 dataset using PC SAS version 9. However, SAS (version 9) tells me that the library which has XX. ssd01 is empty. Anyone here knows how to handle it? Thanks a lot!!
