Usage Note 18188: "ERROR: Invalid physical name" and "ERROR: Error in FILENAME statement" might appear when you try to access data from an HTML page via the URL
When you use the URL access engine on a FILENAME statement to access
data from a Web site, the following errors might display in the SAS log:
ERROR: Invalid physical name.
ERROR: Error in FILENAME statement.
These errors can occur if you omit the http://
from the proxy address
of the PROXY= option or use the http:// in uppercase on the FILENAME statement.
Incorrect syntax:
proxy='www.proxy.com'
proxy='http:\\www.proxy.com'
Correct syntax:
proxy='<a href="http://www.proxy.com">HTTP://www.proxy.com</a>'
