Hi all, at the end of an EG project, I need to have one dataset deleted and one copy and renamed as the one that was just deleted (for the next run).
I have the following in a code node as the last step of the project:
options noxwait;
data _null_;
x 'del \\NCRFP4\TAF\SAS Projects Datasets\NATGapDatasets\natcumfbs1.sas7bdat'; run;
x 'copy \\NCRFP4\TAF\SAS Projects Datasets\NATGapDatasets\natcumfbs.sas7bdat \\NCRFP4\TAF\SAS Projects Datasets\NATGapDatasets\natcumfbs1.sas7bdat';
run;
these steps are never executed.
Any insight? Thanks
Why do you need system commands (which are likely disabled) for such a thing:
proc datasets lib=<insertlib> nolist; delete natcumfbs1; quit; data <insertlib>.natcumfbs1; set <insertlib>.natcumfbs; run;
I don't know your library so you need to put that in.
EG rarely supports X commands. Is X commands enabled and are you running locally where DOS is available or is EG running off a Unix Server?
Is there a specific reason you're not using the SAS functionality for this, ie PROC DATASETS can both delete and move data?
