Getting Errors 22-322 and 201-322 using copy procedure

DaveOrland — Sat, 04 Apr 2015 22:03:19 GMT

Hi. I'm just starting out learning SAS Studio on SAS University Edition. I'm trying to copy a table, sashelp.class, into a new file called work.classname. When I run it, I get the errors below. A new file called classname is created in my work folder but I can't open it because it doesn't contain any columns (I get an error message on it). Any thoughts on how to correct this? And is there an easier way to make a copy of an existing file? Thanks.

data work.classname;

proc copy in=sashelp.class out=work.classname;

run;

1 OPTIONS NONOTES NOSTIMER NOSOURCE NOSYNTAXCHECK;

42 ;

43 data work.classname;

NOTE: The data set WORK.CLASSNAME has 1 observations and 0 variables.

NOTE: DATA statement used (Total process time):

real time 0.00 seconds

cpu time 0.00 seconds

44 proc copy in=sashelp.class out=work.classname;

_____________

201

ERROR 22-322: Expecting a name.

ERROR 201-322: The option is not recognized and will be ignored.

45 run;

You only need part of the code above, either of the code below will create the classname file.

The first

data work.classname;

set sashelp.class;

run;

proc copy in=sashelp.class out=work.classname;

run;

Reeza,

Thanks so much for helping me out.

The first solution using the data and set statements works.

The second solution using copy still gives me the error statements.

Regardless, I only need one that works.

Thanks again!

Copy will copy from the libraries, the in/out should only have library names. I don't know if you can rename the file using proc copy though.

proc copy in=sashelp out=work;

select class;

run;quit;
