(*) Only information that cannot be stored in a SAS xport format file
     is lost: variable names are uppercased and truncated at 8
     characters, missing values for character string variables are
     converted to empty strings,  and numeric values outside of the SAS
     xport format numeric floating point range are converted to missing
     values.
