How do I assign tmp1 outside of the temporary 'work' folder? When i save it, it is saved onto a folder on my desktop, so I assume it is in a permanent location since I assign the libname in that location.     Thanks for you help and patience. I am really new to SAS! ... View more

Thank you both!   Kurt, I followed your suggestion, while it opened initially, after I close SAS and try to open the same file again, I get the same error message:   Unable to open the table TMP1.eating. TMP1.eating cannot be opened.   The log states:  "Format GMFCS not found or couldn't be loaded for variable gmfcs." This is stated for all my variables in the dataset.   Still not sure what I'm doing wrong! ... View more

Trouble saving permanent dataset

I am having trouble saving a permanent file. I have imported the file from spss, which seemed to have worked (all variables and observations were located in the temporary 'work' folder). However when I used the syntax below to save the file permanently into another folder on my desktop, I cannot open the file again after I exit SAS. The following is the error message: Unable to open the table TMP1.ABEY. TMP1.abey cannot be opened. It looks like it's saving properly in the folder (I see the SAS file in the folder), it just doesn't open. I've also tried different ways of opening the file- i.e.- double clicking on the dataset icon and trying to open the file directly from SAS.   Syntax: proc import out= work.eating             DATAFILE= 'C:\Users\dma85\Desktop\Merged_Eatig_Habits\MERGED_EatingHabitsinChildrenwithCP.sav'             DBMS=SPSS REPLACE;             run; libname xyz 'C:\Users\dma85\Desktop\Merged_Eating_Habits';   data test; set xyz.MERGED_EatingHabitsinChildrenwithCP; run; data xyz.test; set test; run;   Thanks!! ...
