Hi,

 

I'm using the following code to import XML. I get ERROR: The creation of the XML Mapper file failed. I am on sas 9.4. Any ideas on how to work around? I googled this error and saw encoding mentioned; putting an encoding option on my filename statement does not seem to work. Any tips appreciated.

 

filename myxml '/mypath/import.xml'; 
filename mymap '/mypath/generate.map'; 

libname myxml xmlv2 automap=replace xmlmap=mymap;

Try this code

filename MYXML '/tmp/import.xml';
filename MYMAP '/tmp/generate.map';

ods xml file=MYXML;
proc print data=SASHELP.CLASS; run;
ods xml close;

libname MYXML xmlv2 automap=replace xmlmap=MYMAP;

to see if you get this log:

 4          filename MYXML '/tmp/import.xml';
 5          filename MYMAP '/tmp/generate.map';
 6
