Hi Moderators,
I'm using sas studio UE and trying to upload sas datasets in sas studio UE.
Though the files are loaded successfully but when I try to open the sas data set I'm getting the below error.
File _TEMP7.EN.DATA does not exist.
as an example.
Any advise / help will be appreciated.
Regards
Ramnath
You cannot use uppercase letters in the name of the physical file that stores the SAS dataset on a Unix machine. Unix is case sensitive so AE.sas7bdat and ae.sas7bdat are two different files. SAS will look for the file with the lowercase letters.
Just rename the file and you should be able to read it.
It can be case sensitive. Can you post the full code and log you tried, as well as include a screenshot of the file in the myfolders pane.
Hi Reeza
Thanks for the help.
I haven't wrote any code, just tried to open the dataset AE (screenshot attached) and it throws the error.
Note: The same dataset I can open in SAS EG without issue.
What's the OS in EG? Windows or UNIX? I suspect it's that type of issue.
What happens when you do try to access the file via code?
Windows for both.
libname ADAM0001 '/folders/myfolders/ADAM0001'; Data AE_New; set ADAM0001.AE; run;
Error for the above code attached.
If you can try using an XPORT file instead of SAS7BDAT file.
You can also try reinstalling, and are you by chance using SAS UE with a different language browser?
You can also search in the Analytics U forum. This has happened before, but I can't remember the fix or what the issue is. I'm 99% certain re-installing and file location were possible issues.

I will try the xport option and confirm.

Hi Tom,
Great Thanks! it worked after renaming the file to lower case.
