Problem Note 19522: The FILENAME function for an HFS pathSAS argument generates incorrect
results
If you use a hierarchical file system (HFS) path name as an argument in
the FILENAME function, SAS® adds spaces to the pathname.
This condition will result in an unsuccessful allocation of the file.
An example of code which produces this error is as follows:
rc2=FILENAME('TEST',fpath);
In this statement, fpath is an HFS path.
A short-term solution is to nest the COMPRESS function inside the
FILENAME function as follows:
rc2=FILENAME('TEST',COMPRESS(fpath));
