From: "Kevin F. Spratt" on
I now have SAS 9.2 64-bit running under Windows XP-64.

In going back to read a SAS data set that I created in SAS92 32-bit I find that
I can read the data set if I have not attached formats, but cannot if I created
user-provided formats.

I usually have a separate program that creates the format library. Thus, if
I could strip out the user provided formats from the permanent SAS data set
I could run the format program to create 64-bit compatible formats and then
re-run the program that I used to attach the labels and formats to
the variables.

Now... How to strip the user provided formats out of a sas 9.2 32-bit
permanent data set
using SAS 9.2 64-bit?

As always, any help appreciated.
