This option - DBMS=ACCESSCS - requires use of the SAS PC Files Server. Do you have that installed and running either on your own PC or on a remote Windows server accessible by you?

PROC Star

In that case if you are using a remote Windows server then you will need to specify the server name and port plus possibly your user name and password. You can read the doc here.

First, I think make sure no one is editing the database. Probably not the issue, but worth checking -- and important to rule out.

The second thing I would try is switching from DBMS=ACCESSCS to just DBMS=ACCESS. Again, not necessarily the issue, but worth trying.
