Sample Code:
filename xyz "c:\abcdégée.txt";
data abc;
infile xyz;
input a $1-500;
run;
Getting and ERROR : INVALID OPEN MODE error.
ERROR : ERROR IN FILENAME STATEMENT.
Thank you
Hi,
Sorry, the below worked fine in my Base SAS 9.3 session:
filename xyz "S:\Temp\Rob\abcdégée.txt";
data abc;
length a $500;
infile xyz dsd;
input a $;
run;
I am using SAS 9.2 version and instead of .txt i am reading .sas program.
Perhaps you could post a truncated version of what you are trying to import (which still gives the error) as I suspect there is something in the file you are trying to import which is causing the problem (it shouldn't matter the file extension as .sas files are text).
You get an invalid open mode. Maybe you have a problem with access rights, or the file is currently held open by another process for writing.
