Filename Statement Error

sasmaverick — Tue, 30 Dec 2014 09:43:29 GMT

I am trying to access the Google Maps API using SAS. I am using the URL engine in FILENAME statement to access the page. Below is the code I am using

However I am getting the following ERROR in log:

ERROR: Invalid reply received from the HTTP server. Use the debug option for more info.

I am able to access other websites like Yahoo, Google, etc in a similar manner.

Help is appreciated.

This runs fine for me (I am not using the proxy option):

data _null_;

infile goog;

input x $100.;

put x=;

run;

filename goog;

Well, that depends on your setup.

Do you run SAS on a local installation or do you run SAS on a server?

Does your local PC or Server have access to the internet? Do you require a proxy to access the internet?

This might be an issue to discuss with your networking/firewall/infrastructure department.
