MPRINT(_M_CREATESIM_REF): CREATE TABLE CES0123.SIM_MAP_COINS ( coinsrCode CHARACTER(10) LABEL = 'coinsrCode', systemCoinsrCode
CHARACTER(10) LABEL = 'systemCoinsrCode' ) ;
ERROR: Invalid or missing ALTER password on member CES0123.SIM_MAP_COINS.DATA.
NOTE: PROC SQL set option NOEXEC and will continue to check the syntax of statements.
SYMBOLGEN: Macro variable IN_SIMID resolves to CES0123

 

Hi Team,

 

After creating the datasets, we are getting error like ERROR: Invalid or missing ALTER password on member CES0123.SIM_MAP_COINS.DATA. even we have not set any alter password.

 

Could you please check and update why this issue came.

 

Regards,

Chandra

Is CES0123.SIM_MAP_COINS  a SAS dataset?  If so, please run PROC CONTENTS and show the output, it should show if there is a password under PROTECTION.

 

Are you able to recreate this problem?  If so, please run a small example that replicates the problem and post the full code and log.  The code should create a dataset that did not exist previously, and then attempt to insert data into that dataset (or overwrite it), and trigger the error.
