Hi,

I have a SAS DI job with a Table Loader that loads data to a table in a library assigned with the META engine.

I get this error:

ERROR: You cannot create or delete datasets, views or indexes in this mode. Try the option METAOUT=DATA. Use Proc Metalib to create 
metadata for datasets.

I tried adding the metaout=data option to the Library but that caused the library to fail to assign.

Adding it as a table option in the Table Loader also does not work:

ERROR 22-7: Invalid option name METAOUT.

How can I get this working? Any help is appreciated.
