Can anyone tell me the problem with the following SAS code?

 */

8    filename  new 'C:\Users\gmcav\Downloads\Opioids.xml';

9    filename  SXLEMAP '<mapName>.map';

ERROR: Invalid physical name.

ERROR: Error in the FILENAME statement.

10   libname   new xmlv2 xmlmap=SXLEMAP access=READONLY;

 

ERROR: Error in the LIBNAME statement.

1)  In log line 9 you use  '<mapName>.map'; as physical name of the file.

     This doesn't seem to be valid physical name.

2) The libname error may be the result of above errror.
