SAS program not creating output dataset

shahm — Wed, 26 May 2021 18:34:06 GMT

Hello,

I am working on a program with SQL and macros embedded. there are also a few proc freq with the output option. I am a confused as to why I am seeing the warning attached below. It also seems the log was last generated this morning and since then all the runs have been throwing this warning.

looking for suggestions,

Thanks,

Maitri

Re connect your code generation tool (Is that screen shot from SAS/Studio or Enterprise Guide ?) to a new SAS session to clear the unbalanced quotes that is confusing things.

Thanks Tom!! it is SAS enterprise guide. I will try to move it to a new sas session.

Unfortunately I get the same error when I open a new sas session as well. even when I run sections of the code, the log seems to be off. It is printing the same log from 9:20 am.

Any idea why is that so.

Thanks,
Maitri

Start by making sure that the problem is not buried in one of the "autoexec" facilities.

Open a new SAS session, do not load a program, and enter this:

proc print data=sashelp.class;
run;

and check the log and output.

To add on, if you have anything in your program set to run before the program in preferences/settings you may want to verify that code is working correctly.
