karthikeyan_S — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 04:27:59 GMT

when i assign a share library this way :
libname R slibref=B server=__8551 sapw="sapw";

where R is share part and B is the base part of the share library.

i am getting the following error :

ERROR: Libname B is not assigned.
ERROR: Error in the LIBNAME statement.
but this library is already registered in the metadata through the SAS management console .Can u pls give me pointers on this .

Is your share/remote server running?
Is the library assigned remotely?

OK.

Try to issue a DISPLAY LIBRARY _ALL_ with the OPERATE procedure, and check if the desired library is assigned at the server.

Check the online doc for the OPERATE procedure:

I Used this command.

proc operate serverid=__8551;
display library _ALL_;
run;

I am not getting any libraries assigned to my country.I am getting only the basic libraries as diplayed as follows.The assigned libraries are not getting displayed.

SASUSER ,MAP,SASHELP,SASADMIN,SASCATCA

Then, the library you are trying to access remotely is not assigned at the server.

You should explicitly allocate the lib through the ALLOCATE library command of the OPERATE procedure (see the doc above) or preassign the lib at the server.

Is there any option to pre assign the libraries using proc allocate command ??

I am able to assign a share library using the proc allocate but even that is not getting dispalyed with the proc operate display all command .

I tried to assign a pre assigned library using SAS Management Console only but it is not working ?
