Thanks for these links Shmuel.   It is the same windows drive that was being used when teh application was running in AIX-SAS9.3.   Now the application is running in Linux SAS9.4 and using the same windows drive...very strange.   It is actually the code generated by SAS DI Studio Table loader transformation  with Replace Entire Table as load technique. This code is being submitted in SAS EG as a standalone sas program.     Though the log says that the index "Permanent copy of file TP_OUT.AAAAAAA.INDEX was deleted, the index file (AAAAAAA.sas7bndx.lck) is physically present with a lock. ...

It is actually not being copied...instead is being created on the windows drive using the below code   data TP_OUT.AAAAAAA; attrib COL1 length = 8 format = YYMMDD10.; attrib COL2 length = $8; attrib COL3 length = $10; attrib COL4 length = $3 format = $3. informat = $3.; attrib COL5 length = $8; attrib COL6 length = 8 format = commax18.4 informat = commax18.4; attrib COL7 length = 8 format = datetime23.; attrib COL8 length = 8 format = datetime23.; attrib COL9 length = 8 format = datetime23.; call missing(of _all_); stop; run; proc datasets library=TP_OUT nolist; modify AAAAAAA; ic create not null (COL1); ic create not null (COL2); ic create not null (COL3); ic create not null (COL4); ic create not null (COL5); ic create not null (COL6); ic create not null (COL7); ic create not null (COL8); ic create Index1 = primary key (COL1 COL2 COL3 COL4 COL5); quit;   This code was working fine in SAS9.3 on AIX but failing in SAS9.4 on Linux. ...
