SUPPORT / SAMPLES & SAS NOTES
Problem Note 43653: ERROR: "Libname LIBREF not available for use" occurs when assigning a library to a WebDAV hosted location using the META engine
 |  |  |  |
If you assign a library to a WebDAV hosted location using the META Libname Engine, the LIBNAME might fail with the following errors:
ERROR: Libname LIBREF not available for use.
ERROR: Error in the LIBNAME statement.
ERROR: Unable to connect to Web server, errno = 34246592 (An unexpected error has occurred.).
ERROR: Error in the LIBNAME statement.
ERROR: Unable to connect to Web server, errno = 34246592 (An unexpected error has occurred.).
The error occurs because a buffering problem in the META engine truncates the WebDAV host name. The truncated host name fails to resolve, and the Library is not assigned.
As a circumvention, change the host name for the WebDAV server to be 20 or fewer characters.
