Hello

I am a SAS EG User and i am trying to connect to the Oracle data base.
I am using the following code to connect the oracle


libname oralib oracle user=XXYY password=*****# path=ASDEW;

I am getting the following error

ERROR 22-7: Invalid option name #.
16 path=ASDEW;
ERROR: Libname ORALIB is not assigned.
ERROR: Error in the LIBNAME statement.



I am a user and i dont have acess to create a library...

try this.

libname oralib oracle user='XXYY' pw='*****#' path='ASDEW';

that is..put single ' around the text.

Ummm Looking at your last statement, might be difficult to do as you state you don't have permissions to create a library....
