Also under SYMBOLGEN in the log, I'm getting DID resolves to 0.

 

I'm using an UNC path without any Quotes or Apostrophes.

 

Any ideas?

If DID resolves to zero, the dopen did not work. Which means that the resource in the filesystem is not accessible from the context of the SAS session.

 

If your SAS runs on a server, local directories on your desktop will not be accessible. And UNC resources available on your desktop may not be there on your server. Or you have different permissions when trying access from the server.

I've now changed the Directory path Folder to C:\Temp\csv.

 

I still get the error;

 

SYMBOLGEN:  Macro variable DIR resolves to C:\Temp\csv
C:\Temp\csv cannot be open.
