Correct, the Wizard will save the PROC IMPORT code in a file. I am familiar with this option/procoss, though in case a SAS Inc. person is reviewing these messages, I wanted to voice my dislike in the change where it is not displayed in the log that seed like if happened around 9.3. Now, back to my actual problem...
So check this out:
The source file of interest is saved in my personal server workspace, so no one else should ever have access to the file. That can be confirmed by examining the file properties.
The above issue only happens to certain files. The other 95% of files I want to import are fine and never have these issues. I have tried many things, such as renaming the source file and Cutting-N-Pasting its content into a new file, but whatever SAS doesn't like about the file sticks with it. The following is even more interesting.
So the piece of code generated from the PROC IMPORT works when it is intitially created. Though when I go to use the generated code (which you reference) it won't work. Though, if I just retyped the code verbatim in my Editor window it will work? Also, if I use the Import Wizard again that will work, but not its generated code, but reruning the originally produced code PROC IMPORT doesn't work.
So Imporrt wizard code works the first time when creating it, then not again, cut-N-pasting doesn't work. but retyping it in its entiety works as well as rerun the import wizard. Work = importing the file without the Log warning above???????
