Nasir,
I am forwarding your message to the sac-help listserv, as there are people on that listserv who are better able to answer your question than I.

Dear Sir
hope you will be fine and with good health. Understand you are a busy researcher.
There is an earthquake of Mw 6.4. The station close to the epicenter QUET has recorded this event. I want to calculate PGA from above attached sac waveform file. I applied sac transfer command to obtain acceleration for the event as below:
SAC> r ./20081028_2230_QUEZ2.sac
SAC> p
SAC> rmean
SAC> rtrend
SAC> p1
SAC> transfer from polezero s ./SAC_PZs_PK_QUET_HHZ_00_2005.001.00.00.00.0000_99999.9999.24.60.60.99999 to acc
SAC> lh
FILE: ./20081028_2230_QUEZ2.sac - 1
-------------------------------
NPTS = 60000
B = 0.000000e+00
E = 5.999900e+02
IFTYPE = TIME SERIES FILE
LEVEN = TRUE
DELTA = 1.000000e-02
IDEP = ACCELERATION (NM/SEC/SEC)
I got output in ACC units (NM/Sec/Sec). Can you help me how to obtain acceleration in m/sec/sec units.
But in actual the PGA for this event is seems not so high as above figure plotted..
The PGA value for this event is ~0.3g. c

Nasir from Pakistan.
