Question about error message

Julie4 — Tue, 09 Nov 2021 09:37:44 GMT

Hello, I have a question regarding the error message.

I received the sas code file through email but I cannot open it now with error message at the bottom.

Is there way I can solve this problem?

Thank you.

Do you use SAS with Display Manager, Enterprise Guide or SAS Studio?

Did you try to load the program file with a File-Open dialog or through double-clicking?

Or did you try to include it with %INCLUDE?

To help we are going to need the context, i.e. what you were doing when the error occurs the more detail you provide the better we can assist.

Did you search the Usage Notes

A search on "error a component of is not a directory" will return a lot of potential issues

Can you open it by Notepad or Notepad++ ?

Right click the file in Windows, open with and open the file with NotePad.
Then copy it into SAS.

It seems you're using a different language computer so you may have encoding issues.
