Problem Note 43626: A "Shell escape is not valid in this SAS session" error occurs when using the Text Import node
If you use the SAS® Text Miner Text Import node to crawl Web sites and retrieve files from the Web, then the following error might occur:
ERROR: Shell escape is not valid in this SAS session.
The problem occurs if you run SAS Text Miner in the SAS® Enterprise Miner™ 7.1 non-server configurations.
This error occurs because Web crawling is not available unless the SAS Enterprise Miner server license is used. To work around the problem, run the %TMFILTER macro in a Foundation SAS session (not in SAS Enterprise Miner) instead of running the Text Import node. Use the %TMFILTER macro to create the data set that would have been created by the Text Import node. Then, use the Create Data Source wizard to make the data available for analysis.
For more information on the %TMFILTER node, open SAS Enterprise Miner and select Help ► Contents.
