Starting from an R dataframe generated with generateXPT.R and saved into xpttest.rds data was brought over via haven::write_xpt(..., version=5) to SAS 9 on Linux64. Truncations of variable labels were repaired and saved into xpttest.sas7bdat. Via SAS standard macro %LOC2XPT this dataset was written to transport file

• xpttest.xpt without specifying transport file version
• xpttest.xpt5 with transport file version set to "v5"
• xpttest.xpt8 with transport file version set to "v8"
