Hi all.

 

An event that cannot be understood has occurred....

 

Windows error when trying to delete a SAS Dataset using Proc datasets.

For example, if the deletion target is t1, an error occurs for another table t2!

 

proc datasets lib = test1 nolist nowarn memtype = (data view);
  delete t1;
quit;

ERROR: Windows error code: 18 in hc_member_data for D:\xxxxx\t2.sas7bdat

 

Certainly at the same time another process is also deleting and creating the data of t2 in another process.

 

Why does that occur in the process that manipulates t1?

 

By the way, SASM6 is used.

 

Regards.
