Subject:      sas and transport format file

I am using sas 6.08 to reconvert a transport format file into a sas file.
I am using filename fileref1 'directory1';
           filename fileref2 'directory2';
           proc copy in=fileref1 out=fileref2 import;
where the first line assigns a fileref to directory1 where the transport
format file is. the second line assigns a fileref to the directory where
the sas file will be once the proc copy converts the transport format
file into a sas file. I get an error: (202-322) "the option or parameter
is not recognized". Am i making a mistage in the way i assign filerefs?
the system I am currently workins is a vms operating system so proc copy
shoudl do the job. Please, any advice is welcome. thanks
