Required Arguments

NAME=translation-table-name

specifies the name of the translation table to apply to the character data in the SAS file you export. The translation-table-name is the name of a catalog entry in either the SASUSER.PROFILE catalog or the SASHELP.HOST catalog. PROC CPORT prints an error message in the SAS log if it cannot find the translation table.

Note:   The translation takes place before PROC CPORT writes to the transport file.  

Options

OPT=

specifies how to apply the translation table. Use one of the following values for the OPT= option:

DISP

applies the translation table to all the DISPLAY window text.

SRC

applies the translation table to all the SCL text.

(DISP SRC)

applies the translation table to all the DISPLAY window text and SOURCE window text.

Default:

PROC CPORT applies all options to the specified translation table.

TYPE=(target-list)

applies the translation table only to the specified targets. If the target-list is a single target, then you can omit the parentheses. The target-list can be one of the following types:

CATDESC

applies the translation table to the description of each exported catalog entry.

DATASET
