Problem Note 37255: An error occurs when you write a SAS® data set to the Microsoft SQL Server

DetailsAboutRate It

The following error might occur when you write a SAS data set to the Microsoft SQL Server:

ERROR: BRIDGE FAILURE CALLING UNKNOWN." "ERROR: UNABLE TO LOAD sasbcp_n FOR
SUBSYSTEM 447." "ERROR: Image sasbcp_n found but not loadable.

The error occurs when you submit a LIBNAME statement that specifies the following:

  • A libref that is assigned to a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 database
  • The ODBC engine
  • The ODBC driver that is included in the Microsoft SQL Native Client v10
  • The BCP=YES option

The following LIBNAME statement illustrates this scenario:

libname sqldb odbc noprompt="driver=sql server native client 10.0; server=SQLServer; database=MyData; trusted_connection=yes;" bcp=yes;

As a workaround, use the INSERTBUFF= LIBNAME option or the INSERTBUFF= data set option:

libname sqldb odbc noprompt="driver=sql server native client 10.0; server=SQLServer; database=MyData; trusted_connection=yes;" insertbuff=150;
