I'm getting this error message.

ERROR: CLI prepare error: Unable to retrieve error message.

This is not a very descriptive error. Can someone please help me with this?

Thanks

Looks like this is an error coming from an external database query. What database are you querying and what SAS/ACCESS engine are you using?
