 We have SAS EG on Windows and our server is on Linux. 

 

I am trying to write data using this script to QAANAL which is alias libname to a Snowflake library.
PROC SQL inobs=10;
CREATE TABLE QAANAL._JMG_TST AS
SELECT *
FROM dsn._ids
;QUIT;

The following error message results.
ERROR: You cannot create or delete datasets, views or indexes in this mode. Try the option METAOUT=DATA. Use Proc
Metalib to create metadata for datasets.
 
Google teels me to specify METAOUT=DATA when defining the Snowflake library using the LIBNAME statement, but library is auto assigned so I don't need to create a libname statement.  Is a new libname statement needed?  I tried composing one using the suggested format below but this produced errors.  
libname mylib snowflake dsn='your_dsn' schema='your_schema' METAOUT=DATA;

Any suggestions on how I can successfully write from my SAS environment to Snowflake is greatly appreciated!
