Default Base SAS engine data sets
must be converted to the SPD Engine format so that the SPD Engine
can access them. You can convert the default Base SAS engine data
sets easily using the COPY procedure, the APPEND procedure, or a DATA
step. (PROC MIGRATE cannot be used.) In addition, most of your existing
SAS programs can run on the SPD Engine files with little modification
other than to the LIBNAME statement.
Creating and Loading SPD Engine Files provides details about converting default Base SAS engine
data sets to the SPD Engine format.
