Hi..

Have you used any format for this dataset??

If YES,make sure that format name length should not be exceed 8 character.That might cause the error..

Thanks & Regards.

The only issue I have had when using SAS System Viewer 9.1 (the last one SAS released) is when trying to read 64 bit datasets created on Unix.  I can read 32 bit from Unix and 32 and 64 bit from Windows.

If you are creating the datasets that you cannot view with SAS Viewer then you might want to look into using the OUTREP setting.

*----------------------------------------------------------------------;
* Copying datasets adding compression and setting format to 32 bit ;
* so that they can be browsed from PC with SAS System Viewer. ;
*----------------------------------------------------------------------;
%let path=.;
options compress=yes ;
libname in "&path";
libname out "&path" outrep=solaris_32;

proc copy inlib=in outlib=out noclone datecopy memtype=data ;
run;
