ERROR: Physical file does not exist, C:\DOCUME~1\LEBLAN~1.UNI\LOCALS~1\Temp\SAS Temporary Files\_TD5784\_D3187932BDE4890A77521719A9528CA.bmp.
NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors.
This problem is most likely to occur if any of the SAS profile catalogs have been corrupted.
To circumvent the problem, do the following:
- Submit the following statements to SAS:
proc options option=sasuser; run;
- Look in the SAS Log to find the directory that the SASUSER libref points to.
- Exit SAS.
- Open the SASUSER directory and rename PROFILE.SAS7BCAT, PROFILE2.SAS7BCAT, PROFBAK.SAS7BCAT, and REGSTRY.SAS7BITM. These files will automatically be recreated when you start a new SAS session.
- Restart SAS.
