Sample Code:
filename xyz "c:\abcdégée.txt";
data abc;

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.
It's finally time to hack! Remember to visit the SAS Hacker's Hub regularly for news and updates.
Learn how use the CAT functions in SAS to join values from multiple variables into a single value.
