I am using the below code. When i run the job on the scheduler, sometimes i am getting this error. so not sure how to fix the issue. The issue doesn't come on every run, only once in a while.

 

can you help me how i can fix this PIPE issue permanently.

 

Code:

filename mac pipe 'dir "\\testdrive\in" /b';
data file;
infile mac truncover;
input file_name $1000.;
run;

 

 

ERROR: Insufficient authorization to access PIPE

ERROR: Error in the FILENAME Statement

 

ERROR: No logical assign for filename MAC.

This looks like the message one gets when XCMD is disabled. Do you run this on a grid? If yes, one of the servers might be mis-configured.
