nospool error

[Sunny_Sun]

Hi all,

I did a very simple step like the following:

Proc contents data=result.a_&scen. out=temp(keep=name) noprint; run;

But I get the following error in Unix system:

22: LINE and COLUMN cannot be determined.

NOTE 242-205: NOSPOOL is on. Rerunning with OPTION SPOOL might allow recovery of the LINE and COLUMN where the error has occurred.

ERROR 22-7: Invalid option name (.

Can you please let me know how to resolve it?

Many thanks,

Sunny

I guess the problem lies in the macro variable &scen

Thanks for your help. However, I do not have any issue when I ran this in PC environment, it only happens in Unix system.

Which respective interface did you use in both environments?

(Enterprise Guide, Display Manager, batch mode)

Try running the code with option mprint; to see what is generated by your macro variable.
