%macro conversion_sdata(filename);
data &filename.;
   set twonov.&filename.;
run;
filename exprt "/mpoint/data_migration/&filename..csv" encoding="utf-8";
run;
%mend;

%conversion_sdata(ambs);

I tried this in sas on demand academic and it works fine,

when tried at work sas server, I get the following:

"ERROR: physical file does not exist, /mpoint/data/migration/ambs.csv.

0 records created in EXPRT from ambs.

 

why is that? how to resolve?

Did you also fix the fact that your posted code was NOT making any attempt to create a CSV file?

You resolved the problem yourself - great.

 

Please mark your own response as the solution.  This helps potential respondents understand in advance that the original request has been satisfied.

--------------------------
The hash OUTPUT method will overwrite a SAS data set, but not append. That can be costly. Consider voting for Add a HASH object method which would append a hash object to an existing SAS data set

Would enabling PROC SORT to simultaneously output multiple datasets be useful? Then vote for
Allow PROC SORT to output multiple datasets
