PROC EXPORT OUTFILE="\\corp\dfs\Mortgage_Shared\VA019\F01B\Everyone\Shared\Disaster\FEMA Disaster Servicing Loan Details_&mToday._&mTodayTS..xlsb"

 

DATA= purge.main_mostrecent_dr

DBMS= EXCELCS REPLACE;

SHEET='Loan Details';

SERVER='saspcff';

 

The above code is a 277K dataset which I am attempting to export as an xlsb file to a share drive.  I believe due to the enormous size I keep getting the following error

 

ERROR: CLI disconnect failed: Server communication failure.

ERROR: Error in the LIBNAME statement.

 

I have a similar proc export with a much smaller size that writes to the same folder with no issues. Is it just an issue of timing out and is there a workaround coding wise

How many variables do you have? 

300K records isn't really that much to be honest and the file shouldn't be that large either unless you have hundreds of errors. I'm not also sure that SAS supports xlsB (Binary) files. What happens if you try and XLSX file?
