nospool error

Sunny_Sun — Tue, 09 Jun 2015 14:26:12 GMT

Hi all,

I did a very simple step like the following:

Proc contents data=result.a_&scen. out=temp(keep=name) noprint; run;

But I get the following error in Unix system:

22: LINE and COLUMN cannot be determined.

NOTE 242-205: NOSPOOL is on. Rerunning with OPTION SPOOL might allow recovery of the LINE and COLUMN where the error has occurred.

ERROR 22-7: Invalid option name (.

Can you please let me know how to resolve it?

Many thanks,

Sunny

I guess the problem lies in the macro variable &scen

Thanks for your help. However, I do not have any issue when I ran this in PC environment, it only happens in Unix system.

Try running the code with option mprint; to see what is generated by your macro variable.

Which respective interface did you use in both environments?

(Enterprise Guide, Display Manager, batch mode)
