I have an oracle table with a period in the name. How do I get the data into SAS? I have tried...

 

Libname testlib oracle user='xxxxx' password='xxxxx' path='xxxxx' show_synonyms=YES;
data table_without_period;
set testlib.table_name.with_period;
run;

 

And I have tried...

 

Libname testlib oracle user='xxxxx' password='xxxxx' path='xxxxx' show_synonyms=YES;
data table_without_period;
set testlib.'table_name.with_period'n;
run;

And I have tried...

 

Libname testlib oracle user='xxxxx' password='xxxxx' path='xxxxx' show_synonyms=YES;
data table_without_period;
set testlib.'table_name.with_period'n;
run;

What comes back?

 

Have you tried

proc sql;
  connect using TESTLIB;
  create table WANT as select * from connection to TESTLIB ( 
    select * from table_name.with_period
  );
quit;
