Exporting Data with PROC CPORT

An excellent way to export information from SAS to another SAS user is with PROC CPORT. PROC CPORT creates an operating system-independent SAS transport file that can hold data sets as well as SAS programs, permanent format catalogs, and other SAS catalogs. Note that PROC CPORT files are not backward compatible with older versions of SAS, so a transport file created by PROC CPORT in SAS 9 cannot be read by SAS 8. Here is some example code showing how to place all of the SAS data sets and permanent formats from a libref called library into a SAS transport file called mytrial.xpt.
