importing from excel works but exporting fails with error DBMS type XLSX not valid for export

[User_2024]

Hello, 

I am reading yesterday's output file from the output folder. The file is in excel .xlsx format, as next step, I am comparing today's results, removing duplicates and exporting to the same folder with today's date. My import works fine, I am able to execute the comparison but when trying to download and export data, I encounter the DBMS type XLSX not valid for export. I faced this error before and I solved it but I couldn't figure out now. Suggestions appreciated!

p.s- I tried upper and lower cases too.

rsubmit;
proc export 
data=final_result2
OUTFILE = "myfolder\output\test2_&today..xlsx"
DBMS = xlsx REPLACE;
sheet="list" ;
run;
endrsubmit;

202  proc export
203  data=final_result2
204  OUTFILE = "myfolder\output\test2_&today..xlsx"
205  DBMS = xlsx REPLACE;
ERROR: DBMS type XLSX not valid for export.
