I am attempting to use the FILENAME PIPE statement on SAS University Edition. Unable to do so.
Well, its one of two things, either you don't have access to the area your trying to work with either through incorrect syntax or permissions, or, more likely, SAS UE (which is a feature limited version of SAS) doesn't have this functionality.
My question would be what are you trying to do, and why? I don't see any reason you would need to be trying to use OS commands through what is essentially a learning tool, even advanced SAS use there are better methds and processes for such tasks.
What I'm attempting to do is to read a web page & extract data from that dynamically. Now trying to do that with FILENAME URL & FILENAME SOCKET. You're free/requested/welcome to advise me which is a more effective method.
Also, one of the things I wanted to ask was if SAS UE did provide these features (as I'm presently using the same to build a pilot on something). Thanks anyways.
This was answered in this related thread. In short: SAS University Edition doesn't allow you to modify config-level options like LOCKDOWN, but PROC HTTP is enabled.
