Coding in SAS EG 4.1

[deleted_user]

I have had some success in importing .csv file (AUG 5) in SAS using this code

proc import datafile="D:\Data\Desktop\AUG 5.csv"
out=mydata
dbms=dlm
replace;
run;
proc print data=mydata;
run;

I'm not having any success when I convert the same file AUG 5 in Excel format (AUG 5.xls) and try to import it.

proc import datafile="D:\Data\Desktop\AUG 5.xls"
out=mydata
dbms=dlm
replace;
run;
proc print data=mydata;
run;

I keep getting an error msg 'File WORK.MYDATA.DATA does not exist !
Is my coding wrong, Please help with the correct code for excel.
