error

[k2k]

i am new user for SAS EG its little bit difficult when compare to SAS BAS. I am unable to  export file from ODS statement. its always showing error like

ERROR: Insufficient authorization to access,

ERROR: Device is offline.

i am using Client System how to get the output from ODS statement.

[SASKiwi]

Please post a SAS log containing your errors as we need to know where you are writing your ODS output. For example if you are trying to write to your PC's local drive from your EG SAS server you could get such a message as the server will not know how to reference your local drive.

hi all

suggest me how to import and export data through proc import and from ods statement from local system. its possible to import or export from local system.

Depends on where your server is and how its set up and if they have a common connection, your best off talking to your sas administrator.

You may be able to access your files on a network drive if you have the full path, ie

\\serverinfo\temp\.....my_file.txt

I'm assuming you can actually write to c:\ as well. My computers nowadays don't allow me to (even my personal default windows install).
