SUPPORT / SAMPLES & SAS NOTES
Usage Note 40932: "Error: Cannot set AUTOCOMMIT=NO due to driver limitations" when using PROC IMPORT or PROC EXPORT
 |  |  |  |
Errors might occur when you use the IMPORT and EXPORT procedures following a LIBNAME using the PCFILES engine. A sample log is shown below:
libname test pcfiles path='c:\sastest\mycars1.accdb';
NOTE: Libref TEST was successfully assigned as follows:
Engine: PCFILES
Physical Name: c:\sastest\mycars1.accdb
proc export data=sashelp.class
outfile='c:\sastest\myfilenew2.xlsx'
dbms=excelcs replace;
run;
ERROR: Cannot set AUTOCOMMIT=NO due to driver limitations.
ERROR: Error in the LIBNAME statement.
Connection Failed. See log for details.
NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors.
NOTE: PROCEDURE EXPORT used (Total process time):
real time 0.09 seconds
cpu time 0.03 seconds
To circumvent the problem, issue a LIBNAME libref CLEAR; statement to clear the LIBNAME statement before using the IMPORT or EXPORT procedures. For the example above, this would be as follows:
LIBNAME TEST CLEAR;
