Subject:      Reading a SAS file

Hello,
 
Someone gave me a file who is supposed to be a SAS file.  However,
when a try:
 
libname tranfile 'addedvar.ssd';
 
i obtain an error message.
 
Using the Unix command more, i imagine that my file come
from a version 6.03 SAS for DOS:
 
 =============================================================================
SAS   6.03    IBMPC   DOS             OLD     ADDEDVARDATA    z`4sY:
;p                                                LOPNR
DELIV10                                                        czV+
DELIV11
                                                                czV
DELIV13                                                         czV
DELIV28                                                         czV
,@p?p?=@p?p?W@@@D@p?p?p?J@@p?p?P@p?p?p?@R@@V@X@@p?p?Q@@Z@p?p?@Q@\@
 
and so on...
 ===========================================================================
 
iI'm using SAS for Unix version 6.10.  I think that our version is complete.
I hope that this question is not too trivial, but i'm really in big trouble
with that file and any help will be really appreciated.
 
Note: I can't use DBMS/COPY.
 
Thanks for help!
