Hi there, I've just encountered a very strange behavior of SAS when performing an import. After succesfuly importing the first file, after a while I had to change it due to updates but when the source file was changed performing the same import on the same table generated a "NOTE: Import cancelled. Output dataset WORK.NTB already exists. Specify REPLACE option to overwrite it." and the script continued without a problem as nothing important had happend although the entire analysis was peformed on the old data. How is it possible to throw a NOTE instead of an ERROR (or even an Warning) in such situations? Is this the normal behavior of SAS? because I find it very odd and I cannot imagine a single situation where such outcome it's desirable. Basically if you forgot to mention the "replace" options SAS doen't think it's a critical situation and makes you think everything was fine. Thank you for your help. EG version 7.15 HF7, SAS 9.4
