I have a DATA step that outputs to multiple datasets using an IF statement. The error I keep getting is<STRONG>,&nbsp;ERROR: Rename of temporary member for xxx.xxx failed</STRONG>. (where xxx.xxx is the library.dataset name). I saw a SAS knowledge base article saying to create new datasets instead of updating existing ones in place, but that doesn't seem to be working. Has anyone else come across a solution to this error message?</P> Wed, 30 Jun 2021 17:31:17 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/ERROR-Rename-of-temporary-member-for-xx-xxx-failed/m-p/751316#M236492 shl007 2021-06-30T17:31:17Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/ERROR-Rename-of-temporary-member-for-xx-xxx-failed/m-p/751318#M236493 Please show your code and log with the actual error.
