When you use the METALIB procedure in SAS® 9.2 or SAS® 9.3 to update tables in a library that contains a SAS® Data Integration Studio work table, the procedure might terminate abnormally. The errors that you receive can vary, as described below.
The error shown above is followed by several pages of garbled text and unprintable characters, as illustrated here:
This problem occurs when the properties for a work table in SAS Data Integration Studio are modified to permanently store the work table in the library that PROC METALIB is attempting to update. The presence of this WorkTable object in the SAS® Metadata Repository prevents PROC METALIB from updating the tables that are contained within the library.
You can determine easily whether you have WorkTable objects stored in your library by using the METABROWSE tool in Foundation SAS® software.
To circumvent the problem, update the job in SAS Data Integration Studio and define the work table that you want to store in a temporary library rather than in the permanent library that is registered in metadata. Then delete the work table from the permanent library using the Data Library Manager plug-in within SAS® Management Console.
