Hi all,

I am submitting the following code to Base SAS via MobaX on linux os.
%LET DATALOC = %str(sas_user/xxx/test_base);

OPTIONS MPRINT;

%MACRO IMPTFILE(DL,FN,DSNAME);

LIBNAME OUTPUT "&DL.";

FILENAME INF  "&FN.";

PROC CIMPORT LIBRARY = OUTPUT FILE = INF;
SELECT &DSNAME;
RUN;
%MEND;
RUN;


%IMPTFILE(&DATALOC.,&DATALOC./PERSON.XPT,PERSON);
RUN;

I am getting the following error, please help me
220  %IMPTFILE(&DATALOC.,&DATALOC./PERSON.XPT,PERSON);
MPRINT(IMPTFILE):   LIBNAME OUTPUT "sas_user/xxx/test_base";
NOTE: Library OUTPUT does not exist.
MPRINT(IMPTFILE):   FILENAME INF "sas_user/xxx/test_base/PERSON.XPT";

MPRINT(IMPTFILE):   PROC CIMPORT LIBRARY = OUTPUT FILE = INF;
MPRINT(IMPTFILE):   SELECT PERSON;
MPRINT(IMPTFILE):   RUN;

Your folder definition doesn't look right to me. I would expect it to begin with "/" like /sas_user/xxx/test_base. Check your folder path on Linux to ensure it is correct.
