%include statement works in one project, but not another one

ly2024 — Thu, 14 Mar 2024 21:13:43 GMT

Today I run a project that has %include statement and libname statement, it works fine.

Then I created a new project with those two statements, but both of them didn't work.

The error message for statement "%include "C:\user\xxx\abc.sas"; " is

WARNING: Physical file does not exist, /opt/sas/config/Lev1/SASApp/C:\Users\xxx\abc.sas.
ERROR: Cannot open %INCLUDE file C:\Users\xxx\abc.sas.

The error message for statement "libname test "C:\user\xxx";" is

NOTE: LIbrary TEST does not exist.

Both the exactly same statements work fine in the other project.

Does anyone have some clue about it?

Thank you!

I doubt the "project' has anything to do with it.

It is related to which SAS server you connected to.

The one with the error is running on Unix. You can tell from the path it showed in the error message. So there is no way it can see the "C:" drive. That is a Windows filename.

Tom,

You right. I checked "Select server", and changed it to "0 Local", now it works fine.

I am a beginner of SAS EG. So, selecting a running server is a must-do setup for a project?

Thank you!
