It may be that you will not be able to get CPORT/CIMPORT to work with versions 6.12 and 6.09. Try PROC COPY with the XPORT engine to create an export dataset on your 6.12 platform, and PROC COPY with the XPORT engine on the export dataset on your 6.09 platform to inport it.

Also, if you transfer it electronically, make sure you are doing a binary transfer. -- --(Signature) Robert M. Hamer 908 235 4218 Use my last name @rci.rutgers.edu "Mit der Dummheit kaempfen Goetter selbst vergebens" -- Schiller
