Windows error code 1

fferreira — Wed, 26 Sep 2018 23:33:17 GMT

Hi everybody,

I am trying to set 2 datasets together with the codes below:

libname in 'D:\June2017_drms_format5';*drms and format5 original data directory;
libname Fernanda 'D:\June2017_drms_format5\Fernanda'; *WORKSTATION results directory;

data in.drmsall;
set in.drmsjune2017
in.drmsfeb2012;
drms = 1;
run;

and I am getting the following error on the log window:

ERROR: Windows error code: 1 in hx_disk_access for D:\June2017_drms_format5, Incorrect function.
ERROR: User does not have appropriate authorization level for library IN.

Here are important info about it:

- I assigned the IN library pathway correctly. proc print reads the data just fine.

- I used to run this code on my old computer without any problems.

- I am one of the admin of the computer, so I have full privileges;

- If I try to run creating the dataset on the work library, a different message error occurs:

data drmsall;
set in.drmsjune2017
in.drmsfeb2012;
drms = 1;
run;

ERROR: Windows error code: 1 in hc_disk_normal_read for
D:\June2017_drms_format5\drmsjune2017.sas7bdat, Incorrect function.
ERROR: File IN.DRMSJUNE2017.DATA is damaged. I/O processing did not complete.

Does anyone has experience in troubleshooting this problem?

Thanks!

Hi Chris,

yes I did, but I could not find anything online related to error 1.

However, I'd like to post the solution here: both my 1TB HDs were in bad shape (I had just bought a brand new computer from Dell). This is why SAS could not make any changes on the libraries assigned to the HDs. I talked to them and they replaced both HD. Aparently it is working fine now.

Thank you all,

Fernanda
