just connected to sas viya and tried to print and it keeps running and nothing is being produced.

hi, not sure why proc print is not printing and the job keeps running.  proc freq can't print either. 

here is a sample code;

ibname a '/export/sas-viya/homes/viya_admin/casuser/';

PROC IMPORT DATAFILE= "/export/sas-viya/homes/viya_admin/casuser/Sample-Superstore-Subset-Excel.xlsx"
OUT= WORK.orders
DBMS=XLSX
REPLACE;
SHEET="Orders";
GETNAMES=YES;
RUN;

proc contents data=orders;run;

proc freq data=orders;
table 'product category'n/list missing;
run;

proc print data=orders (obs=10);run;

thanks!

Did you ever run anything successfully in this environment?

data _null_;
  put 'Hello World';
run;

Reset the session and try again.

There isn't much we can tell you from the information available.

I reset and it ran now. Still new to this environment but it does not seem to be stable as the desktop environment. Deployment sometimes work sometimes don’t on Azure. And once getting in Viya, I encountered this freeze right out of the start. Doesn’t make me feel good why I have to pay for SAS and Azure when I can just use colab and python. Much as I love SAS. Perplexing…
