Error in physical fie

Can anyone tell me the problem with the following SAS code?

8 filename new 'C:\Users\gmcav\Downloads\Opioids.xml';

9 filename SXLEMAP '<mapName>.map';

ERROR: Invalid physical name.

ERROR: Error in the FILENAME statement.

10 libname new xmlv2 xmlmap=SXLEMAP access=READONLY;

ERROR: Error in the LIBNAME statement.

1) In log line 9 you use '<mapName>.map'; as physical name of the file.

This doesn't seem to be valid physical name.

2) The libname error may be the result of above errror.

"<" and ">" have special meaning for operating systems and cannot be part of filenames.
