Dear SAS SUPPORT,

 

I have a hard time exporting a SAS file into SPSS. When I use the code below I get an error.

 

PROC EXPORT DATA=Under5_1;

    OUTFILE='C:\Users\wavogo\KEIR72SD\spssdata.sav';

    DBMS=SPSS REPLACE;

    FILE="C:\Users\wavogo\KEIR72SD\Under5_1";

RUN;

ERROR: FILE= or TABLE= is required and must be specified

Would know what might help? I don’t have STAT/TRANSFER and I can’t open the SAS file directly in SPSS.

Thank you so much for your help.

Winfred

Remove the semicolons after the options. They all must be part of the PROC EXPORT statement.

proc export
  data=Under5_1
  file='C:\Users\wavogo\KEIR72SD\spssdata.sav'
  dbms=spss
  replace
;
run;
