Hi All,

Am executing the below program in UNIX SAS and am while executing this program in UNIX, am encountering error like "Invalid Logical Name". I think this is related to file name statement. Please correct me what exactly am missing here ? Appreciate for help.

options obs=max compress=yes;

libname a "/project1/one/d071212";

filename a.cust1  pipe "gunzip -c /root/share/file1..GZ";

data a.comp1;
infile a.cust1  missover lrecl=4000 recfm=f;
input

@1 CUSTOMER_NAME             $EBCDIC22.          
@23 CUSTOMER_ID                $ebcdic10.

Regards,

S Ravuri.

a.cust1 is not valid for a filename. letters, numbers and underscores only.
