Error in set

anandmgjsa — Thu, 06 May 2021 15:12:19 GMT

when I am using the below code. Its giving error : File does Oct_Dec_Data not exist.

data login_oct_dec;

set Login_old;

set 'Oct_Dec_Data'n;

run;

The file file is imported from excel and the 1st is the data set created from another program.

However, when I am running the code in a separate program window:

data login_oct_dec;

set 'Oct_Dec_Data'n;

run;

There is no error and the data is created successfully.

Please help.

Actually I am running it on VDI where I can not copy or snip any thing.

Go to your work library and confirm that it exists. Run a PROC CONTENTS or such to verify it. Beyond that you'll need to work with SAS Tech support.

What do you mean by "separate program window"?

Using a one level name (no library) means the data is likely in the WORK library. However two separate SAS sessions of any type will almost certainly not have the same location for the WORK library.

Permanent libraries, if the libname points to the same location for the appropriate session, the data should be there but not Work.
