We are trying to connect to a lotus notes database.

This is the code:

options validvarname=any;
libname notes clear;
libname notes pcfiles DSN='Tracker_Pixie' server="&PCFS." port=8621;

PC File Server is on and working, the DSN connections have been setup.

When the code is executed, get the following error message.

ERROR: CLI error trying to establish connection: Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error 998 (Lotus Notes SQL
Driver (*.nsf)).
ERROR: Error in the LIBNAME statement.

Any idea, why this happens?
