SPDS | Does not support random access

MariaD — Mon, 28 Sep 2020 12:42:10 GMT

Hi folks,

We recently change our SAS server to Linux environment. We have SAS 9.4M6 installed and SPDS 5.4 on it.

After create a table on SPDS library, the following error appear. The process is simple, is a copy from a base table to SPDS.

We tried to add a %let SPDSBNEQ=NO option before the creation but the error persists.

Regards,

That looks like an error from Enterprise Guide instead of from SAS.

Did the SAS code that ran to copy the data into the SPDS libref work?

What is it that Enterprise Guide is trying to do when it generates that error? Is it just trying to open the output dataset for you to browse in EG? I think there might be an option in EG you can set to tell it not to automatically open the output datasets.

Please provde a PROC CONTENS of the source data set, and a complete log from the copy operation.
