This code will not work.

 

libname mydata xlsx 'myxlfile.xlsx';

run;

proc ds2;

   data work.mydata;

        set mydata.xlssheet;

   enddata;

My question: Is the result by design or have I done an error?

"When you use PROC DS2, you can submit DS2 language statements to SAS servers and DBMS data sources that are available with SAS 9.4 SAS/ACCESS engines. In addition, beginning with SAS 9.4M5, if you have SAS Viya, you can submit DS2 language statements to the CAS server." - keyword here is the SAS/ACCESS engines.  

 

Not sure why you would want to read in an Excel file (yep could have stopped there) in DS2 anyways, a simple change to your code should work fine:

libname mydata xlsx 'myxlfile.xlsx';

proc copy in=mydata out=work;
run;

libname mydata clear;

proc ds2;
  ...
run;quit;

Thanks,

I have write a demographic prognos program and use Excel as interface to data which I had to change.

For using Excel as an interface to SAS tables: The SAS Add-In to Microsoft Office (SAS AMO) could make this really simple for you.

SAS AMO comes with offerings like SAS Office Analytics.

I know about AMO but it works not on a SAS Workstation licens.

I consider useing AMO on an other set up with OA-server.
