SAS Beginer- Issue faced with ODS statement

[Deepak13]

Hi,

Failed to create PDF file in my local drive, even after using ODS statement. Please make use of the below program.

Also, Please explain why we are not using "run" statement after ods pd close?

From the error message it looks like your SAS program is running on a remote SAS server with the Unix operating system. As such it know nothing about Windows file paths on your local PC. Ask your SAS admin to advise you where you can write your files on the server preferably so they can be shared with your PC.

Got the point, I use UE for practice, So this is a cloud service which is not related to my windows drive, Now I changed the path by creating a folder in the UE itself and the program works fine! Many thanks for your prompt support!

It looks like you didn't quite set up SAS UE correctly, the default path should be folders/myfolders but yours is Myfolders - I think the capital M throws it off. In general, you can set up any shared folder though and then you'll have the path similar to above.

Hi,

1. There is a problem with your Title statement. It shouldn't have = sign.

2. Secondly, I think you need to check your path where you want the output.  I used your code with these changes, and its working perfectly fine for me.

3. ODS statement is a global statement. That's why we don't have to use run after that.

Hi Anushree,

Many thanks for your advice, I have removed the "=" in title and changed the ods file path to UE server, Now the program works fine with no errors!

Regards,

Deepak.
