Problem Note 43211: A Splitter transformation in SAS® Data Integration Studio generates the error "Data set was not specified on the DATA statement"

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It

A Splitter transformation in SAS Data Integration Studio generates incorrect code when both of the following occur:

  • The temporary output tables are renamed on the Physical Storage tab.
  • A mapping step is required to transform column values between source and target tables. A mapping step is necessary when the source and target columns have differing lengths, formats, names, and so on.

When these events both occur, the following error is generated at run time:

ERROR 455-185: Data set was not specified on the DATA statement.

The only circumvention at this time is to override the automatically generated code with user-written code.
