This documentation describes the various options for transferring files across statistical packages. The best option depends on the statistical packages involved as well as on your preferred operating system.
Some software packages can directly read in data sets from other packages.
The out command after the proc convert statement should include the library name as well as the name of the new data set. Variable labels will be preserved but value labels will be lost. This is due to the way SAS saves value labels. For help creating and reading the SPSS export files and SAS transport files see the Appendix. If no extension to 'ssdname' is specified, .ssd01 is assumed.
