It is often necessary to migrate data to new platforms because some tools require local data access. Users may become intimidated and stymied by the prospect of finding an easy and reliable method for moving mainframe data to remote platforms. This paper explores how the flexibility of SAS system architecture, combined with Java programming capabilities, provides instant access in an easy-to-use tool for point-and-click data migration and conversion (OS/390 SAS, DB2 views, Oracle views) to a PC or UNIX/NT servers. The paper also discusses methods to automatically convert the resulting dataset to the desired format (SAS dataset, SAS transport file, Excel, CSV, tab delimited, space delimited, or dBASE) on the target platform.
