Problem Note 1341: 2 simultaneous executions of PROC EXPORT cause SAS session to hang
If you have 2 SAS sessions running on the same machine and
you attempt to execute PROC EXPORT, PROC IMPORT or use the EXPORT/
IMPORT wizard on each session simultaneously, you may receive the
following error/condition:
The first SAS session will hang.
The second SAS session will issue the following log error:
ERROR: DAO error encountered:
To recover from this condition you should end the SAS session
which is locked, using the Windows Task Manager.
The problem will occur only when you are managing EXCEL 97, EXCEL 2000,
or MSACCESS files through the IMPORT/EXPORT facility of SAS, and you
are executing the process on both SAS session simultaneously.
The problem will occur even if each SAS session is reading/creating
different Excel or Msaccess files.
To circumvent the problem you should use an alternate format for
export and import when submitting the jobs simultaneously. For
example: EXCEL 5 or CSV format.
