Subject:      Richard Hockey's DBF macros

Hi everyone,
 
Does anyone have a copy of Richard Hockey's DBF macro's for reading and
writing dBASE files, that they have successfully used under 6.11 for Win
3.1.  I have copies from a couple of different sources.  However, none of
them work.  I searched SI's web site as well as the File Contribution
Server, and didn't find copies in either place.  I downloaded a version from
Ciesin and it failed as well.
 
Perhaps I am using them wrong.   I once saw a comment that the macros only
work for dBASE III files, so I specifically saved a file as a dBASE III file
type, to no avail.  A copy of the code I am using follows.  Any insight
would be appreciated.
 
%include "c:\temp2\dbftosas.sas";
%dbftosas (in= e:\brfss\analytic\conta4a.dbf, out = test);
run;
 
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Brian
