Greetings,

I am having trouble transporting a SAS data set from SAS PC DOS to Unix system. The file is approx. 100 columns by 22 rows of data (I also have a larger data set containing 100X140 observations). The error message on the PC side is:

WARNING: DESTINATION OVERFLOW FROM ROUTINE ACPLCMP. LOGICAL RECORD LENGTH IS 788.

On the Unix side with cimport I get the error:

NOTE: Proc CIMPORT begins to create/update data set U.BLD4T72 ERROR: Given transport file is damaged (obs header is damaged).^MERROR: Given transport $ NOTE: Data set contains 98 variables and 16 observations. Logical record length is 784.

WARNING: More library members exist in the input file. For all of them to get converted, please specify LIBRARY=libref parameter in the proc statement. NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors. NOTE: SAS set option OBS=0 and will continue to check statements. This may cause NOTE: No observations in data set

Cimport actually manages to created a data file with 16 of the 22 records.

Any ideas on how to proceed?

Thanks

Bruce
