Can SAS read SPSS files?

[Art Kendall]

Does SAS have a way to read SPSS .sav files directly?

I know that SPSS can write SAS files.

AFAIK, SAS 8 can only read .por files.

I thought that SAS was backwards compatible - capabilities & commands carry over to the next version.

I have imported spss (sav) files into sas v9.2 with code like:

 

PROC IMPORT OUT= WORK.me_all
            DATAFILE= "C:\temp\all_prepost_base_rimes.sav"
            DBMS=SAV REPLACE;
RUN;
