Problem Note 7882: LIBNAME statement may be assigned to the wrong directory in the 64-bit
implementation of SAS® 8.2 on AIX and Solaris
If you issue a LIBNAME statement in the 64-bit implementation of SAS 8.2
on AIX or Solaris, SAS may incorrectly issue a NOTE similar to the
following:
LIBNAME OUT "/path/to/directory";
NOTE: Libname OUT refers to the same physical library as OUTDSN.
NOTE: Libref OUT was successfully assigned as follows:
Engine: V8
Physical Name: /path/to/different/directory
Note that the path specified on the LIBNAME statement is different from
the Physical Name in the NOTE. The LIBNAME is in fact assigned to the
incorrect path that is shown as the Physical Name.
This problem is due to a change in inode handling on 64-bit Unix
operating systems.
