Problem Note 47885: Using the FILENAME URL engine in SAS® 9.2 in z/OS operating environments causes the connection to time out
 |  |  |  |  |
Using the URL access engine in SAS 9.2 under z/OS might result in the following error:
ERROR: The connection has timed out..
A temporary workaround is to code the Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) IP address of the remote
host, if you know it. Here is an example:
FILENAME LINK URL 'HTTP://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn/www.company.com';
In the above, nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the IPv4 address of the remote host, and www.company.com is the name of the remote host.
