%include statement in VIYA

[elmendamian]

Hello everyone.
I am trying to call a .sas program in SAS Viya from a location on the server.
I have used the filesrvc command but it doesn't work.

These are the sentences:

filename myfldr filesrvc folderPath = '/Users/Edachiardi/CodigosSAS /';
data _null_;
infile myfldr ('infile_put.sas');
run

This is the log:

NOTE: The infile library MYFLDR is:
Directory = / Users / Edachiardi / CodigosSAS /,
Folder Identifier = af055b98-acdc-44f8-a874-da6bdd394aa4,

NOTE: The infile MYFLDR ('infile_put.sas') is:

NOTE: 0 records were read from the infile MYFLDR ('infile_put.sas').
NOTE: DATA statement has used (Total process time):

cpu time 0.17 seconds

Any ideas for correct invocation.

Thanks.

I see no %include in your code.

In the data step, there is no input statement, so nothing is read.

Hi KurtBremser, thanks for your answer.

The %include statement works in SAS Guide or base, in VIYA doesn't work. The recommendation for "accessing a File by Name and Folder" in SAS VIYA is the "fileserv" instruction.

I need to include lot of sas code files into a data step but I could not.

Regards

Multiple questions you need to answer.

Does the file exist? Is it not empty? Does it actually have SAS code? Or something else?

You could make a slight change to your DATA step so you could look at the first few lines of the file.

filename myfldr filesrvc folderPath = '/Users/Edachiardi/CodigosSAS /';
data _null_;
  infile myfldr ('infile_put.sas') obs=5;
  input;
  list;
run;

If it looks like it is there and is the code you want to run then try replacing the DATA step with the %INCLUDE statement.

filename myfldr filesrvc folderPath = '/Users/Edachiardi/CodigosSAS /';
%include myfldr ('infile_put.sas') / source2;

Hi Tom, thank you very much.

The second sentence that you send me works very good.

This is the log.

From where do you take it that %include does not work in Viya? There is nothing in the documentation that suggests it won't work in the CAS server.
