Proc import

[PhanS]

Hello,

I have an issue re. proc import from SPSS. I have an actual data in SPSS. Appreciate all your help.

Phan S.

Phan S.proc import out=mosT4
  datafile='C:\Users\Desktop\Test.sav'
  dbms=SAV replace;
  run;


ERROR: Physical file does not exist, C:\Users\Phan S\Desktop\Test.sav.
NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors.
NOTE: PROCEDURE IMPORT used (Total process time):
      real time           0.00 seconds

This means that the file you are trying to import does not exist.

Thank you. The file exists!

I retested proc import - still does not work.

However, this link helped me https://kb.iu.edu/d/agau

I followed this  ---- Open your data in SPSS. To create a SAS file, click File, and then Save As.... 
Change "Save as type" to SAS v9+ Windows (*.sas7bdat), and then click Save.

Hi,

Why does your code show one path and the error shows different path. Make sure you give the correct physical path because the log clearly says that file doesn't exist.

Thank you. I deleted some of characters in the path - that is it is confused you.
