LINDA ADAM'S SAS TIPS

The DATECOPY Option

The DATECOPY option in PROC DOWNLOAD can be used when migrating SAS datasets to preserve the original create date and time on the SAS dataset.

DATECOPY also works with PROC UPLOAD, PROC COPY and the COPY statement in PROC DATASETS.

proc download data=perm.test
out=out.test datecopy;
run;

proc datasets lib=source;
copy out=dest datecopy;
quit;
