ERROR: Shell escape is not valid in this SAS session.

Hola,

Al momento de ejecutar la macro que mueve los archivos antiguos y solo deja los nuevo, me saca error:

WARNING: In a call to the CATT function, the buffer allocated for the result was not long enough to contain the concatenation of
all the arguments. The correct result would contain 265 characters, but the actual result might either be truncated to 200
character(s) or be completely blank, depending on the calling environment. The following note indicates the left-most
argument that caused truncation.
NOTE: Argument 4 to function CATT('move "','\\10.32.4.74'[12 de 200 caracteres mostrados],'" "','\\10.32.4.74'[12 de 102 caracteres
mostrados],'"') at line 43 column 103 is invalid.
ERROR: Shell escape is not valid in this SAS session.

A continuación dejo el código

/* MACRO MUEVE ARCHIVO ANTIGUO

******************************/

%macro move_old_files(ruta_origen, ruta_destino, archivo_reciente);

data _null_;

set file_list;

if fullpath ne "&archivo_reciente"

then do;

command = catt('move "', fullpath, '" "', "&ruta_destino",'"');

rc = system(command);

if rc = 0 then

put "moved: " fullpath " to " "&ruta_destino";

else

put "failed to move: " fullpath " to " "&ruta_destino";

end;

run;

%mend move_old_files;

%move_old_files(&ruta_origen, &ruta_destino, &archivo_reciente);

@jorge_garzon_co

"COD" is a very ambiguous topic title. Do you have a question about the program you presented?

If you have ERRORS in the Log show the LOG with the code and the error messages.

Talk to your SAS admim about the setting of XCMD or NOXCMD. If your admin has NOXCMD option set you cannot issue X commands and I believe that also affects the SYSTEM function or CALL SYSTEM call routines.

You work in a SAS session with option NOXCMD set.

Either have XCMD enabled by your SAS administrators, or use a combination of FCOPY and FDELETE functions to perform the move.

In the future, please post logs by cooy/pasting the text into a window opened with this button:
