Problem Note 41266: Filenames with a "\dq" or "\sq" in the path are interpreted incorrectly in SAS® Enterprise Guide®
If a filename contains a "dq" or an "sq" after a "\", SAS Enterprise interprets the slash as an escape character, which generates the following error:
ERROR: Invalid physical name for library X.
ERROR: Error in the LIBNAME statement.
Here is an example.
libname example "C:\example\dqtemp";
|
This statement is interpreted as the following by SAS Enterprise Guide.
libname example "C:\example""temp";
|
The workaround is to change the backslashes in the path to forward slashes, like:
libname example "C:/example/dqtemp";
|
A hotfix is planned for this issue.
