Import ACCESS to SAS 9.4 issue

[jzhu3]

After upgraded SAS from SAS 9.3 to SAS 9.4.  I couldn’t import ACCESS tables into SAS, both in code and in Import wizard.  The error massager is:

Error in the LIBNAME statement.

Connect: Class not registered

Here is my code:

Libname test "I:\USERS\test"; run;

%let db="I:\USERS\raw data\2013\crash-database-2013.accdb";

PROC IMPORT OUT=dop

      DATATABLE= "damageproperty"

      DBMS=ACCESS REPLACE;

      DATABASE=&db;

      GETNAMES=YES;

      SCANTEXT=YES;

      USEDATE=YES;

      SCANTIME=YES;

RUN;

It runs well in SAS 9.3 but not work on SAS 9.4. Did I miss something? 

Thanks!

I think sas 9.4 64 bit not compitable with office 32 bit. Please try upgrade office 64 bit.

Hi Yavuz,

My office is using Access 2016. Just upgrade to 64 bit.

Thanks,

Have you tried the wizard using Microsoft Access Database on PC Files Server? The following note is for xls files, but probably applied to access as well. It's regarding using 32-bit Access on 64-bit SAS

Yes, I did. But still didn't work.  I imported Excel data into SAS 9.4 by coding. it works only changing DBMS=xlsx; 

Thanks,

Have you tried opening the files in Access and then saving them as 64-bit files?

I tried it but still caused same error msg. Thank you.

[Yavuz]

Dear jzhu3, if its possible, could you please check office 2016 youre usins is 32 bit or 64 bit. Because i got many problem with this issue and all of them is related with office version. Thanks.

[rogerjdeangelis]

If you have IML/R interface you can use RODBC. I think the 32bit driver here handles both 32 an64 bit access.

I use WPS but you can use IML/R

%utl_submit_wps64('
options set=R_HOME "C:/Program Files/R/R-3.3.1";
libname wrk "%sysfunc(pathname(work))";
proc r;
submit;
library(RODBC);
myDB<-odbcDriverConnect("Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)};DBQ=d:/mdb/HelpfulContacts.mdb");
mtcarsmdb<-sqlQuery(myDB, paste("select * from mtcars"));
mtcarsmdb;
close(myDB);
endsubmit;
import r=mtcarsmdb data=wrk.mtcarsmdb;
run;quit;
');

Hello Yavuz,

Checked the Office 2016 and it's 32 bits version.  It maybe the problem.  How do you solve those bits issue?

Thanks  a lot!

Do you have the right bit pc files server version? Take a look at: http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/pcfsicg/69732/PDF/default/pcfsicg.pdf

I think that will be your solution.

Hi Jing, i guessed it. You must install 64 bit office. But please know that when you install 64 bit office then sas 4.0 will work fine but same problem may occure with sas 9.3 (couse of the 32 bit)
