Proc Export - does not work on server - it works only on local - Why?

[dkanand86]

Hi Everyone,

Please find below my sas code which i am using to export my sas dataset into excel file using proc export.

THIS CODE WORKS (Because i first downloaded the data and then exported to local only):

rsubmit;

proc download data=dd.summary1 out=summary1;

run;

endrsubmit;

　

proc export data=summary1 dbms=xlsx outfile="C:\Users\USER12\Desktop\test1\sampletest1.xls" replace;

run;

THIS CODE DOES NOT WORK (Why it does not work?):

Without downloading the data to local, if i try to export the data to excel file to server using proc export, it fails. please help. thanks

proc export data=dd.summary1 dbms=xlsx outfile=="/server/user12/sampletest1.xls" replace;

run;

ERROR LOG:

NOTE: Remote submit to SERVER commencing.

914! outfile="/server/user12/sampletest1.xls" replace;

Sounds like you may have different licensing. 

Run proc setinit or proc product_status to see if the licenses across machines are the same. 

Also, try a different DBMS - Excel, ExcelCS, or Xls (for an Xls file)
