I will check with the SAS administrator. Thank you!

SAS/ACCESS Interface to PC Files provides the XLSX engine.

PROC SETINIT displays the products your company or school has licensed. PROC PRODUCT_STATUS displays the products that are installed

proc product_status;

run;

You must have SAS/ACCESS Interface to PC Files in SAS release 9.4 M2 or higher to use the XLSX engine.

I have the same problem when I run this code:

"engine XLSX cannot be found" error occurred.

After I ran PROC PRODUCT_STATUS; run;, I can see that I have "SAS/ACCESS Interface to PC Files" and the version is 9.4 M7.

So what else am I missing?
