Maurice,
I think that you are running into a side effect of a data selection "loophole" in our API. Really, the API doesn't have complete support for selecting a file from the host file system -- only for selecting a data file from a SAS library. However, if you navigate back up from the starting directory to the full server list, then drill back down into the server, you suddenly see the "Files" choice alongside the "Libraries" choice. Oops!
This is what you want, I know, but I think it's a bug in the software that allows you to do this. Then when the selection is made and control returns to your task, the result set is empty, since the API isn't meant to handle this case.
We already have a defect tracked internally to address this in our next version.
