Hi Everyone,

 

I am creating a report for Excel using SAS. So in my scripts, I output the field names to be excel friendly giving them an alias 'Field name'n.  So the table I am creating has many fields that are named in that manner. However, SAS DI has picked on one of those fields and issued a message that id doesn't recognise it. Please see logs.

- Image 1 is a screen shot of the body of code

- Image 2 is a screen shot of the log with error message.

 

Please can anyone help?

 

Thanks,image1.PNG

Please do ALWAYS post code in a proper window, either using the "little running man" or the {i} button.

 

If SAS complains about all variable names with blanks, you may not have set validvarname=any.
