SAS Dataset issue

Shri_sol — Wed, 19 Apr 2023 07:18:36 GMT

Was working on a program. After submitting the program, the output is properly created in the respective file as a sas7.bdat file and can be opened and view in sas environment successfully. But when I close the session and after reopening the same am not able to open the output in sas environment. This has never happened before cannot understand

What would be the issue here.

That is very hard to answer, as your picture is so small that the text is unreadable.

Unless you created the file in WORK, that normally gets deleted at the end of the session.

Can you show the log as well? I'm curious whether there is any format loading issue..

Try using CODE to look at the dataset. PROC CONTENTS for example.

Then you will have messages in the LOG which you can copy and show us as TEXT instead of PICTURES.

Inspect the directory for which the library is defined. If you find any files with upper case or mixed case names, these are the culprits. If a file is named

Table_14_2_17.sas7bdat

SAS can't use it. It has to be named

table_14_2_14.sas7bdat
