ERROR: You cannot open WORK.XXX.DATA for output access with member-level control because WORK.XXX.DA

[Ronein]

Lets sat that I have 2 programs open.

Lets say that in program 1 I created data set called XXX

Lets sat that now in program 2 I try to create also data set called XXX

Then I get error---ERROR: You cannot open WORK.XXX.DATA for output access with member-level control because WORK.XXX.DATA is in use by you in resource
environment IOM ROOT COMP ENV.

In my older sas version this error never occur.

What is the way to prevent this error???

Turn off the automatic opening of results and output datasets. As long as you have a table viewer open for the dataset, it's locked against overwriting.

How should I do it please?

[Kurt_Bremser]

I suggest you consult the documentation for your specific Enterprise Guide version. For 8.3, see here.

I feel as there is something odd with the configuration of EG or SASWORK, since I have not seen that issue since really long times....
