Probably before it might have been counting on being in the correct working directly. I tend to always specify full directory paths when I'm generating linux commands from SAS, just to avoid having to keep track of the working directory. For example, if you issue a CD statement with one X command, and then issue the TAR statement with a second command, I'm not sure the working directory from the first command will be remembered. I haven't tested it. Since I usually have a macro variable with the path, like you do, it just seems clearer to me to always specify the path. Glad you got it working.
