Hello

I want to export sas data set into Excel file.

What is the reason for the error?

ERROR: DBMS type EXCEL not valid for export.

Should I write end XLS  or XLSX?

 

/***Create a folder***/
Data _null_;                                                                                                                                            
NewDirectory=dcreate("TYOTA","/usr/local/SAS/SASUsers/LabRet/UserDir/RRR/");    
Run;
/***Export***/
PROC EXPORT data=sashelp.cars  
OUTFILE="/usr/local/SAS/SASUsers/LabRet/UserDir/RRR/TYOTA/Ex1.XLS"
DBMS=EXCEL REPLACE;
SHEET="Sheet_R";
RUN;

 

The code with DBMS=XLSX  is working well

PROC EXPORT data=sashelp.cars  
OUTFILE="/usr/local/SAS/SASUsers/LabRet/UserDir/RRR/TYOTA/Ex1.XLSX"
DBMS=xlsx REPLACE;
SHEET="Sheet_R";
RUN;

Hi,

 

DBMS=EXCEL only works for MS-Windows. Use DBMS=XLS instead
