I am trying to use the fork transformation. But I get the following error:

 A link must be established by executing the SIGNON command
 before you can communicate with (fork-node)

 I found the following SAS support note :http://support.sas.com/kb/48/456.html

 

Which concludes that 

There is currently no circumvention for this problem.

Click the Hot Fix tab in this note to access the hot fix for this issue.

Clicked the hot fix tab, which just brings me back to the support note. Any ideas?

The Hot Fix tab works fine for me. What version of SAS are you using? The note says the problem is fixed in SAS 9.3 TS1M2.

I the fork that is causing problems. works as it should when I remove the fork. But I have no idea why this fork is giving me an error, and none of the others. The code inside is not that different.

That hot fix doesn't apply to SAS 9.4. I suggest you track the issue to Tech Support.
