Always (as in ALWAYS) use absolute path names for external files. The current working directory of a SAS process will usually not be what you think, and can (and will!) change from installation to installation.

Hi,

Regarding the specific error, you appear to have a trailing space after ".." in the 2nd and 3rd folder specification.

Thanks & kind regards,

Amir.
