Hello everyone!

I am trying to connect my database in SAS studio using an sql pass-through facility. 

But everytime i run the program, i get this error :

ERROR: The SERVER= option is required for establishing a connection through the SAS/ACCESS Interface to PC Files.
NOTE: PROC SQL set option NOEXEC and will continue to check the syntax of statements.
 
So, i am wondering if this issue is only on SAS studio and SAS Academic Edition!
 
Thank you.

You may get a better response showing the actual code submitted.

 

And which SQL source you want to connect to.

Thanks for reply.

this is a part of the code :

proc sql;
connect to pcfiles(path="&path\database\all.accdb"
dbpassword=sastest);
select DEALID, Duration, Score, Decision
from connection to pcfiles
          (select top 10, DEALID, Duration, Score, Decision
          from clients
          where score is not null
          order by score desc);
disconnect from pcfiles;
quit;
