Yes, thanks. You forced me to take a closer look at what the user was actually doing, based on the log I have.
I had been told that the user "can't even start the tutorial" (or perhaps I'd formed that erroneous impression myself), and consequently I wanted to view the log at the very initial stages of the tutorial, before I did any processing.
It turns out that the user is getting a fatal error when attempting to perform the Import Data task as shown in the tutorial.
The odd part is this. The user is unable to perform this task because the following line:
%IF %TRIM(&SYSSCP) = OS %THEN DO;
generates these messages:
WARNING: Apparent invocation of macro TRIM not resolved.
ERROR: Required operator not found in expression: %TRIM(&SYSSCP) = OS
ERROR: The macro _EG_IMPORTDATA will stop executing.
The "good" log that I have omits the %IF %TRIM... statement and its corresponding %END.
However, my own log shows that I am *successfully* executing the %IF %TRIM... statement. (I can't tell whether the condition evaluates to true or false, but no error is given and I can perform the Import Data task.)
Does anyone have any hints about this? My first guess would be that it might have to do with SAS versions and/or Enterprise Guide versions, but I don't know.
Thanks,
Tim
