I got an XLSX file from third party and trying to import it in SAS EG using proc import/Libname methods but it does not work.If i open the XLSX file and SAVE AS with the same name also it works. Is there are any UNIX command applied in SAS to SAVE AS the XLSX file in the same location through SAS program without any manual intervention. Any other alternative to SAVE AS the XLSX file or recreate the XLSX file in the same location without manual intervention through UNIX commands in SAS or any other approach to make the file work.
Your Excel file has to be available on the UNIX server, either by copying there with sftp or by storing it on a shared resource mounted on the server.
Then you can use LIBNAME XLSX to access it like a SAS library.
