Here is an example of PROC SCAPROC code with the OPENTIMES argument within a RECORD statement:
record "/home/sasdemo/scaproc.txt" attr opentimes expandmacros ;
run ;
This error can occur when you attempt to access data via Remote Library Services (RLS). However, the code works well when you use the Base SAS® engine.
To circumvent this type of error, remove the OPENTIMES argument.
