Problem Note 39272: LIBNAME options STARTOBS and ENDOBS file on SPDE LIBNAME statement
 |  |  |  |
These two LIBNAME statements fail for SAS® 9.1:
libname foolib spde "." startobs=2;
-
ERROR 23-7: Invalid value for the STARTOBS option.
ERROR: Libname FOOLIB is not assigned.
ERROR: Error in the LIBNAME statement.
libname foolib spde "." endobs=100;
---
ERROR 23-7: Invalid value for the ENDOBS option.
ERROR: Libname FOOLIB is not assigned.
ERROR: Error in the LIBNAME statement.
The problem does not exist at SAS® 9.2.
The workaround is to use the data set options instead of LIBNAME statement options:
For more information:
Data set options:
LIBNAME options for SPDE libraries:
STARTOBS= LIBNAME Statement Option
ENDOBS= LIBNAME Statement Option
