SAS Segmentation Violation error while using proc import in UNIX

deleted_user — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 08:50:28 GMT

Hi,

I am using the following proc import statement in UNIX for importing the data present in the XLS file to sas dataset. But i am getting the following segmentation error in log. Sometimes the data gets imported in the SAS dataset correctly without this error. Please advice.

67 proc import
68 datafile = "Test.xls"
69 out = PERM.TEST dbms=XLS replace;
70 getnames=yes;
71 run;

Hi

You can use

options nocodegen;

before the code.

No its still not working. Throwing the same error. By the way what does "options nocodegen" do?

Suggest you review the HOTFIXES at SAS support website and if not resolved contact SAS support.

Sorry there was a mistake , it is

option nocodegen;

I wrote extra 's'.

I had the same problem the SAS support team suggested about the
option nocodegen, it is a quickfix, as it was difficult to apply the hotfixes.

What does this nocodegen option do ?
