Problem Note 46502: PATH= option on LIBNAME statement might cause in-database processing to fail
Improper quoting of the PATH= option on a LIBNAME statement that accesses an ORACLE database might cause in-database processing to fail. Proper quoting needs to be done at the ACCESS engine layer. The following LIBNAME statement demonstrates the problem:
LIBNAME TEST ORACLE PATH='@TESTABC' DBPROMPT=YES SQLGENERATION=DBMS
SCHEMA=UMIARC;
The following messages might appear in the SAS log:
ERROR: Error during in-database processing.
ERROR: General error ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect
identifier specified
In this case, removing the '@' from the PATH= option allows in-database processing to complete successfully.
