Problem Note 70404: PROC SCAPROC inserts an additional forward slash (/) in path names in JOBSPLIT information when executed on UNIX systems

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It

An extra forward slash (/) is added in the path name of an external file in the JOBSPLIT information when you run the SCAPROC procedure on UNIX systems. For example, you encounter the job when you run code similar to the following on UNIX systems:

proc scaproc;
   record '$HOME/results.txt';
run;

This code returns the following in the JOBSPLIT information:

/* JOBSPLIT: FILE INPUT /home/demo//test.xlsx.bak */
/* JOBSPLIT: FILE OUTPUT /home/demo//test.xlsx */

Currently, there is no workaround.

A hot fix planned for this issue.
