Hi Team,

 

I am getting the following error while reading / fetching the records from SPDS table.

While searching on google everywhere its about compress option and parameters but code is already written and we are getting the error from yesterday only.

 

Error : external converter unconvert failed

 

 

Regards,

Uma Shanker Saini

You should reach out to SAS Technical Support.
Create a Track and attach your SAS Log file.
You might also want to attach the output from a PROC CONTENTS that shows the table information.

Hi @umashankersaini 

 

Since yesterday we get this exact same error for a job that has run without problems for a long time.

Did you find an answer to your question?
