Reason for the Import from Excel (and actually other databases) mystery: use of Microsoft or other application data engine that responds to a SAS request from the named source. So there are no lines of code resulting that SAS could execute.

I had options nonsource.
I just had the same problem. Was trying to import with a very simple proc import, csv. Got an error but no information. Had done this a million times before and couldn't figure out the problem. Finally I closed down SAS and re-opened it and it worked. Go figure.
