Problem Note 48472: The message "Error in the LIBNAME statement" appears in SAS® Data Integration Studio jobs that use the SCD Type 2 Loader transformation

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It

SAS Data Integration Studio jobs using the SCD Type 2 Loader transformation might fail with the following error:

ERROR: Error in the LIBNAME statement

This error occurs when the following conditions are true:

  • The SCD Type 2 Loader transformation output table is a database management system (DBMS) table.
  • Under the Database Options section on the Options tab in the SCD Type 2 Loader properties dialog box, the Use SQL PassThru option is set to Yes.
  • The target DBMS supports the DBMSTEMP=YES LIBNAME statement option.
  • The DBMS library definition that is associated with the target table has one or more options defined that contain a semicolon (for example, a semicolon that is used in the INIT_STRING= option of an OLE DB LIBNAME statement).

The error is the result of an incorrect substitution of the semicolon that is set in options when you allocate the library ETLSTMP for the storage of temporary table in the DBMS environment.

Currently, there is no solution or workaround for this error.
