Usage Note 13599: "ERROR: File is in use" message when running a Stored Process
When running the Stored Process Server and executing a Stored Process
using the %STPBEGIN macro or ODS statements and also attempting to
explicitly write to "_webout", you will receive the following error
message in your SAS log file:
ERROR: File is in use, .
If you have a SAS DATA step that explicitly writes to "_webout", you can
eliminate this problem by not enclosing the DATA step with %STPBEGIN and
%STPEND statements or ODS statements.
The example below illustrates a scenario that would cause the problem.
%stpbegin;
data _null_;
file _webout;
put '<HTML>';
put '<H1>Hello World</H1>';
put '</HTML>';
run;
%stpend;
You can eliminate the problem by removing the "%STPBEGIN;" and
"%STPEND;" statements.
The same error message will occur if you use ODS rather than the
%stpbegin macro. For example, the below code will cause the same error
message.
ods html body=_webout;
data _null_;
file _webout;
put '<HTML>';
put '<H1>Hello World</H1>';
put '</HTML>';
run;
ods html close;
If you are using Enterprise Guide 3, then you need to deselect
"Include macros" for your stored process by following these steps.
1.) In Enterprise Guide, click on the Stored Process to
be executed.
2.) On the "Stored Process Manager" screen, select
"Execution Environment."
3.) On the "Execution Environment" screen, click the
"Preview code" selection in the lower left hand

the "Include Macros" item at the top of the screen.
5.) Then, click "Save and Run"
If you are using Enterprise Guide 4, then you need to deselect

3.) On the "SAS Code" window, click the "Include code for"
button at the bottom of the window.

then click "NO".
