Iam trying to connect to sql server from sas and iam able to connect with libname statement successfully but not from the proc sql.

 

what might be the wrong in the below code?

 

LIBNAME genis SQLSVR Datasrc=Genesis_ABC SCHEMA=dbo USER="XXXX" PASSWORD="XXXX";

 

Working Properly 

 

 

proc sql;
connect to odbc as mycon ( Datasrc=Genesis_ABC SCHEMA=dbo USER="XXXX" PASSWORD="XXXX");
create table work.TEST1 as
select * from connection to mycon
(select * from test1_table );
disconnect from mycon;
quit;

Try changing your CONNECT TO statement:

 

connect to SQLSVR as mycon ( Datasrc=Genesis_ABC SCHEMA=dbo USER="XXXX" PASSWORD="XXXX");
