Hi - I've been trying various approaches to no avail. I have a DATA step that outputs to multiple datasets using an IF statement. The error I keep getting is, ERROR: Rename of temporary member for xxx.xxx failed. (where xxx.xxx is the library.dataset name). I saw a SAS knowledge base article saying to create new datasets instead of updating existing ones in place, but that doesn't seem to be working. Has anyone else come across a solution to this error message?
Usually causes by anti-virus software locking files.

It is probably more likely to occur for your step that is re-creating/renaming multiple files at once.
Have your system local support team debug with SAS support.
