This instructs Stat/Transfer to look for a file with the name (with extension. If this option is checked, the entry '% ipath %/% iname %.stc' will automatically appear on the CPORT library name line. You can type in a complete file specification or you can use the macros given above as part of the file specification.Ĭhoose this option if you have your formats in a dataset in a CPORT library produced by PROC FORMAT. If you wish to have Stat/Transfer look for a file located somewhere else or with a different name, you can change it in the SAS dataset name box. This is the name that the file will have if you have created it by the procedure below. By default, Stat/Transfer will look in the same directory as the input file for a file named sas_fmts. When this option is checked, you must have both the SAS input file and a separate file created by SAS that contains the formats. You will then be able to select the member that contains your formats.Ĭhoose this option if you wish to read formats from a SAS datafile produced by SAS using PROC FORMAT. If not, uncheck the Use default catalog name box and press the Read Library button. If your formats are in a member with the default name formats, you need not specify anything more. % iext % The extension, without the dot, of the input file % iname % The name, without the extension, of the input file % ipath % The path, including the directory, of the input file You can type in a complete file specification or you can use the macros below as part of the file specification. If you are reading formats and data from separate files, then you can give the name of the file on this line. stc ) and directory of your input file, since you will most probably be reading your formats from the same file as the data. If this option is checked, the entry '%ipath%/%iname%.stc' will automatically appear on the CPORT library name line. You can change the path if your file is in a different location.Ĭheck this option if you have your formats in a CPORT catalog. This instructs Stat/Transfer to look for a file named FORMATS.SAS7BCAT, in the same directory as your data file. If this option is checked, the entry '%ipath%/catalog.sas7bcat' will automatically appear on the SAS catalog name line.
STAT TRANSFER SAS FORMATS WINDOWS
You can choose whether and how formats are to be read by using the SAS Writing options of the Options dialog box.Ĭheck this option, which is the default, if no formats will be read.Ĭhoose this option if you have a Windows SAS catalog file containing formats and wish to read them. Setting the Appropriate Options with the User Interface a Transport file, which can be produced by SAS running on any platform, including those on IBM mainframes.a SAS dataset in a Windows CPORT library.a SAS datafile in any of the data representations supported by Stat/Transfer, including Windows and all Unix platforms.(See "Creating a File with the PROC FORMAT Statement" below.) The files produced in this way can be stored in: Stat/Transfer can read formats from an exported catalog produced by SAS using the 'cntrlout=' option of PROC FORMAT. Stat/Transfer can read formats from catalogs stored in CPORT libraries These may be more convenient if your data are coming from another SAS platform, or you simply have no control over the way the data are produced and delivered. In addition, Stat/Transfer can read SAS formats that are stored in several other formats.

This is the simplest option for those who are using Windows SAS.
STAT TRANSFER SAS FORMATS 32 BIT
Stat/Transfer can read SAS user-defined formats (value labels) directly from 64 or 32 bit Windows catalog files. SAS, unlike other systems, stores value labels as custom "formats," in a separate "catalog" file. Stat/Transfer supports the import and export of SAS value labels.
