Compatibility with OITUNIX

OITUNIX was decommissioned August, 2007. Files created under OITUNIX can, in most cases, be used on the stats server.

SAS datasets and formats catalogs

Based on brief tests, SAS datasets and formats catalogs created on OITUNIX can be used on stats server directly. However, you may see some messages indicating that the files were created on another operating system. Use PROC CPORT/PROC CIMPORT to get rid of these messages. See Transporting SAS Libraries for istructions.

SPSS save files

Based on brief tests, SPSS save files created on OITUNIX can be used on the stats server direclty.

R workspaces

Based on brief tests, R workspaces created on OITUNIX can be used on the stats server directly.
