The error messages below might be written to the SAS^® log when you use certain ODS statements, including the ODS HTML statement and the ODS TAGSETS.EXCELXP statement:

Make sure that the PATH option points to the directory to which you want to write the ODS output and that the FILE option specifies only the name of the HTML file that you want to create.
