Folks:

    I have a SAS data set (created using SAS version 8.0 on the UNIX),
    and need to have that data converted to a SPlus dataframe. Using
    the "sas.get" option in Splus does not seem to do the job (gives
    an error message that *.ssd data not found). Since a SAS data
    that's created using ver 8.0 gives the "*.sas7bdat" extension, I
    presume that that's where the problem lies -- "sas.get" is not
    capable of reading "sas7bdat" data sets, and therefore, cannot
    write out a SPlus data (please correct me if I'm mistaken).
    Anyway, is there a solution to my problem ? 

    I'm running SPlus 3.4 on the UNIX, operating on Solaris. Thanks.
