ERROR: The object invoked has disconnected from its clients.

[JohnG]

SEG 3.0 on WinXP machine, hotfix 30EG03.

The task to run is only an option statement and several libname assignments. The task continually runs until I stop it. The error I get when stopping the task is:

"The connection to the server "Local" has been reset. Any jobs that were running or queued to be run have been discarded.

The object invoked has disconnected from its clients."

After searching through the SAS online help, I only found where you re-register SAS (and/or SEGuide) as a COM server. Both were done, but neither fixed the issue.

Is it something to do with the SEG hotfix version installed? Or is it something else?

Thanks, John

It is possible that the code you are submitting is causing SAS to terminate or end unexpectedly. We would need to see the statements you are submitting to evaluate whether this is a possibility.

I'd suggest sending this information plus your SAS program to tech support (http://support.sas.com/techsup/contact/submit_emits2.html).

The (abbreviated) code is only:

options pageno=1 ;
libname start "O:\data";

I've tried running only the options statement or the libname assignment. Same result. I don't believe it's the code being run but something else - just don't know what.

On another machine with the same configuration (SEG 3, v9.1.3, WinXP), I don't have this problem. The same code runs fine.

I got the same error message. Has anyone had a solution for this problem? Please let me know. It is urgent!

Thank you very much!

I used to see this problem a lot. We raised a tech support track about it.

Let me see if I can dig the response up. It hasn't happened to me in a long time so I guess we fixed it somehow.

Just checked - tech support told us it was raised as a defect. However, I haven't seen it in a while but I dunno why. I can't see the error when I search on the tech supprt website.
