SUPPORT / SAMPLES & SAS NOTES
Installation Note 45697: SAS® Add-In for Microsoft Office 5.1 requires that a WORK library on a SAS® 9.3 Workspace Server on a z/OS system be configured in a UNIX file system
 |  |  |  |  |
You might see the following error when a SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office 5.1 client attempts to establish a connection to a SAS 9.3 Workspace Server on the z/OS platform.
*
For software releases that are not yet generally available, the Fixed
Release is the software release in which the problem is planned to be
fixed.
A connection to the server "SASApp" could not be established
If you click Show Details in the window with this error, the following appears:
[Error] Invalid physical name.
This error occurs when the z/OS SAS Workspace server’s WORK library is configured and allocated as a traditional z/OS data set (a “bound library”).
Workaround
To work around this issue, modify the SAS 9.3 Workspace Server's default WORK library configuration on the z/OS system. Define the WORK library in UNIX file system space. For example, open the configuration-directory/Lev1/SASApp/WorkspaceServer/sasv9_usermods.cfg file and add the following:
WORK=/tmp
In this example, all users connecting to the SASApp Workspace Server have a WORK library in the UNIX file system directory /tmp.
Hot Fix
Instead of the workaround, you can use the available hot fix. Click the Hot Fix tab in this note to access the hot fix for this issue.
