Getting error message that file WORK.one.data does not exist

I ran this before and it was successful now when I try to do new things I'm getting this error message: ERROR: File WORK.ONE.DATA does not exist.

I think this is my full log:

This is a different question about an error I just got a second ago. What are you talking about?

Re: Getting error message that file WORK.one.data does not exist

Reeza — Fri, 22 Feb 2019 21:42:57 GMT

No. I don't need your full log history. I need just the log from the exact code you posted. But the error is there several times which is clear - the FIle is in use. You likely have it open in Excel or another application so SAS can't access it.

And once you fix this, your proc contents will work too, ergo why this is the same as your other question.

Re: Getting error message that file WORK.one.data does not exist

khalillx — Fri, 22 Feb 2019 21:44:44 GMT

That's not it. I already tried that. The file is no longer in use anywhere and I still get the same error message.

Re: Getting error message that file WORK.one.data does not exist

VDD — Fri, 22 Feb 2019 21:55:49 GMT

this question and error I have already answer look at this link

http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/proc/61895/HTML/default/viewer.htm#a000314361.htm

then look at your code is it in the order that it needs to be? No.

take out some of the ; that you have which are misplaced.

to get past this error look at the example to the original question here

http://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/Why-do-I-keep-getting-this-error-message-when-I-try-to-import-my/m-p/537836#M147985

1. Restart your computer - if an application crashed it may have left a lock on the file that you need to 'unlock'.

2. Verify your CSV is correct and in the location expected

3. Try the code below. If it does not work, please post the log from the code alone:

PROC IMPORT OUT= Project1
DATAFILE="C:\Users\laura\OneDrive\Documents\econ485\project1data.csv"
DBMS=csv 
REPLACE;
RUN;

This also looks like it's trying to read from a cloud drive (OneDrive), so you may need an internet connection or it's possible all the read attempts have flagged some issues via OneDrive so there could be a security issue. I think this is unlikely, but it's a possibility. I've also seen cases where OneDrive changes the name slightly, so be very careful when checking the file name.

Yes I actually restarted SAS and it works now. But now I'm getting an error for a different code I will be asking about lol.

Your log clearly says you didn't.
