PROC EXPORT - <<ERROR: string is duplicated |><t>7</t>|>>

[MC1985]

Morning to ALL,

i made a program that export some datasets to EXCEL ( from my SAS 9.4 and MS Excel 2016 on Windows 10 Machine -64bit), after 6 different sheets on same file SAS Corrupt the XLSX file and give me the <<ERROR:   string is duplicated  |><t>7</t>|>> in SAS Environment . SAS make a backup before replace the XLSX, but when i try to open file EXCEL say "corrupt file".

Any suggesst?

I need to enginering a program that make some elaborations and export over ten datasets in ten different sheets

this is my simple code(insert in a macroprogram):

proc export 
      data      =&DS_INPUT. 
      dbms      =xlsx 
      outfile   ="&FILE." 
      replace;
      sheet     ="&SHEET_NAME.";
run;

thanks

MC

Show the entire code on how &sheet_name is built.

I would suspect something referencing the same sheet or something NOT acceptable in a sheet name.

Morning Ballardw,

macro is like that:

%MACRO EXPORT_XLS(DS_INPUT= , FILE= , SHEET_NAME=);

    proc export
      data      =&DS_INPUT.
      dbms      =xlsx
      outfile   ="&FILE."
      replace;
      sheet     ="&SHEET_NAME.";
    run;

%MEND EXPORT_XLS;

the macro's calls are:

%LET XLS_OUT=C:\_Lavoro\_works\Sole24Ore\_Analisi\_20160513_AnalisiDatiUtentiDigital_per_dataQuality\xls\XLS_AnalisiDigitalV2.xlsx;

%EXPORT_XLS(DS_INPUT	=tel_norm, 						FILE	=&XLS_OUT., 		SHEET_NAME		=TELEFONO NORM			);

the restrictions are:

1. sas name less equal 32 char

2. excel sheet name les equale 31

the error appear in a random way.

thank you very much.

let me know if you have suggest.

Hello

I have the same issue.

Does anyone know of any solution to this problem ?

Thank you in advance.

[MC1985]

No, i'm so sorry. I create a smaller excel and bypass the errors

[lleheris]

Thank you for your reply.

It isn't a critical error in my process but I keep hoping that one day someone will find a potential solution.

[troopon]

Did you ever find a resolution to this? I am encountering a similar problem but can't find the solution anywhere.

Like you the error sometimes occurs when I run the script and sometimes doesn't. I am also doing a macros export to an excel file (xlsx) so problem is likely the same. My excel corrupts too. I can get into the excel but other sheets on there have had columns moved and formats changed.
