Hi,

Please try the command

1. Go to /usr/sap/trans

2. Copy your "*.CAR" file in /usr/sap/trans

3. Type SAPCAR -xvf *.CAR

It will copy extracted files (*.PAT & *.ATT) into /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in

Hello,

I tried CAR -xvf filename -V

As of R/3 Release 4.6C, the new archiving tool is SAPCAR and it replaces the previous archiving tool CAR.

SAPCAR is downward compatible to CAR so it can uncar the .CAR files too.

Follow the note for more details

Yeah.. SAPCAR -xvf is the command... make sure that you're standing in /usr/sap/trans as the packages will be decompress on /EPS/in directly...
