I am trying to convert an XPT file to SAS

 

My code:

libname sasfile '/folders/myfolders/';
libname xptfile xport '/folders/myfolders/LLCP2018.XPT' access=readonly;
proc copy inlib=xptfile outlib=sasfile;
run;

 

Log:

1 OPTIONS NONOTES NOSTIMER NOSOURCE NOSYNTAXCHECK;
72
73 libname sasfile '/folders/myfolders/';
NOTE: Libref SASFILE was successfully assigned as follows:
Engine: V9
Physical Name: /folders/myfolders
74 libname xptfile xport '/folders/myfolders/LLCP2018.XPT' access=readonly;
NOTE: Libref XPTFILE was successfully assigned as follows:
Engine: XPORT
Physical Name: /folders/myfolders/LLCP2018.XPT
75 proc copy inlib=xptfile outlib=sasfile;
76 run;
 
NOTE: Input library XPTFILE is sequential.
ERROR: Physical file does not exist, /folders/myfolders/LLCP2018.XPT.
NOTE: Statements not processed because of errors noted above.
NOTE: PROCEDURE COPY used (Total process time):

NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors.

What am I doing wrong?

SAS UE can be case sensitive. I would go to the Files, Folders and Servers Pane, find the XPT file, right click, select properties and use the path there in your code.
