SAS Question

Question

I'm taking the SPSS versions of some of the LMAS files and saving them to .sas7bdat format for a graduate student; however, when I run the export, an error message comes up

Warning # 9077
The cumulative length of the variable labels exceeds the limitations of the target file type. The excess labels will be omitted.

Is there any other way I can give her the data for use in SAS that won't have this problem? How serious is this?

Answer

One easy way to do it would be to create a .csv file from the SPSS - and I can send you a perl script that converts "most" of the SPSS syntax into SAS syntax.
