Usage Note 35483: The autocall macro facility requires uppercase file names in WebDAV autocall macro library
The autocall macro facility expects uppercase file names. If you use a WebDAV location as an autocall macro library, by default, you must use uppercase file names for your macros as shown in the following examples:
filename foo sasxbamw "https://xxxdemo.sas.com
/webdav/macrolib" user="xxxxxxx" password="xxxxxxx" dir fileext;
options SASAUTOS=(foo);
%mytest; /* expects a file called MYTEST.SAS */
After you have applied the hot fix for this issue, you can specify the LOWCASE_MEMNAME option on the FILENAME WebDAV statement in order to access autocall macros with lowercase file names, as shown below:
filename foo sasxbamw "https://xxxdemo.sas.com
/webdav/macrolib" user="xxxxxxx" password="xxxxxxx" dir fileext lowcase_memname;
options SASAUTOS=(foo);
%mytest; /* expects a file called mytest.sas */
Refer to SAS Note 18857 for a general description of how to use a WebDAV location as an autocall macro library, and also for information on the original hot fix that is required for such use of a WebDAV location.
