Details

In this example, the following is demonstrated:

The source and target libraries are on one computer.
The SLIBREF= argument is not used. (See Using the SLIBREF= Option to learn whether SLIBREF= is required.)
The IN= argument accesses all of the supported file types in the source library. Because the source and target are on one computer, NFS is not used.

Program

libname source <engine> 'source-library-pathname';
libname target base 'target-library-pathname';

proc migrate in=source out=target;
run;
