Re: dCreate returns empty string

Thank all for your suggestions.   I think that the key information and probably I don't explain it clearly enough is that I am trying to create the folder in my local machine, not in the server! I already have the reports generated in the server but I need to download them to my local machine. I am using the "Copy Files" add-in but it needs the folder to exist and I can't figure out how to ensure the folder exist and if not, create it.   ... View more

No, I didn't. I only use Enterprise Guide and I don't think I can log on to the SAS server (or at least, I don't know how to). ... View more

Thanks Andreas for your reply.   I already tried with macro-variables and with a data step with the same result: %let newdir = 'Reports'; %let parentdir = 'C:\Users\Public\Documents\SAS Learning\'; %put NOTE: creating folder (%sysfunc(dcreate(&newdir, &parentdir))); data _null_; new = dcreate('Reports', 'C:\Users\Public\Documents\SAS Learning\'); put "NOTE: creating folder (" new ")"; run; I have rights in that folder. I have no clues why the directory cannot be created! ... View more

dCreate returns empty string

Hi there.   I am trying to create a folder for my output reports and I have tried all of these options: %put NOTE: creating folder (%sysfunc(dcreate(Reports, ParentDir))); %put NOTE: creating folder (%sysfunc(dcreate('Reports', 'ParentDir'))); %put NOTE: creating folder (%sysfunc(dcreate("Reports", "ParentDir")));A At least, one of them should be correct but in all of the cases, the output is the same: NOTE: creating folder () No output directory, no errors, no nothing. Just a blank string (and of course, the folder has not been created).   I am working in a pretty restricted environment (SAS 9.3) and I can't use either shell escape commands (like X or SysExec). Probably my problem is due to some other admin restriction but: no output at all? nothing? not an error or a warning?   Any clue?   Thanks in advance! ... View more
