Assigning Libname In Sas
Comments Eeeeek!!! Your SAS Stored Process failed. It worked when in SAS Enterprise Guide! How could this disaster have happened? If you how to assign libname in sas enterprise guide check the log, you may see an error similar to the following about the LIBNAME not assigned. In this case, the PROC Report was using data called Sales_Candy_History from the MYLIB library. When executing the https://communities.sas.com/t5/General-SAS-Programming/Libname-is-not-assigned-error-in-SAS-EG-on-demand/td-p/173762 code, SAS was not able to determine where the data table was located. It could not find the library. Assigning the Libname Most likely you need to add the library to the stored process code and test again. For a stored process, you can use a metadata library or a file system library. A file system library is what I think of as a BASE SAS library. The code looks like this: LIBNAME http://bi-notes.com/2011/09/stored-process-error-libname-not-assigned/ Name "File System Path "; Example: LIBNAME MyLib "d:/data/public"; If you use this LIBNAME statement you have to make sure that file system permissions are available to the stored process or other users. Most likely having the data on your local C drive is not going to work. However, if the directory is on a common server that has open permissions, then you are probably okay. Generally when creating a stored process in SAS Enterprise, you want to use the Metadata library. Metadata libraries are created in the SAS Management Console by a SAS Administrator (or someone with appropriate permissions.) The LIBNAME statement looks like this one: LIBNAME YourName meta library="Metadata Name "; Example: LIBNAME MyLib meta library="Candy Shop"; You may wonder how I knew to use Candy Shop as the library value. Here's what my SAS Enterprise Guide session looks like. You can see the assigned libraries to the left. The first library is named Candy Shop. Still Didn't Work? If this does not work, you may have access to the library using your Enterprise Guide profile connection, but the stored process may not have authorization to use the library. You may need to talk to your SAS administrator about permission settings or if there is a preferred library. [Another Article: 3 Most Common Stored Process Errors] Going For the Deep Dive on Metadata

We will show you how to build a three different stored process with prompts in under 90 minutes. In the meantime, here are the most common errors that new developers make to help you as you get started. Update: It was a fun presentation - here's the paper. Error #1: is not assigned LIBNAME is Not Assigned If you develop your stored process code in SAS Enterprise Guide, then the code uses your Connection Profile. Thus it has access to all of your libraries. When that code is moved to the stored process, you might find its generates a "LIBNAME not found error". A best practice is to always add the LIBNAME statement to your stored process. You can learn more about how the libraries are assigned in the SAS 9.3 user documentation: "Assigning Libraries". If you are still confused, I thought the SAS 9.2 documentation had a helpful description of pros and cons here. You don't have to read the entire background - just find the library connection you need to make as shown below. Note: For this example, system library simply means it does not exist in the metadata so you call the library from the file system. Error #2: Unexpected or No Results with Macros If you have added the %STPBegin and %STPEnd macros in your stored process, then you must ensure the Stored Process Wizard does not add it back. If you
to first use the SAS LIBNAME statement or function within a SAS session or program to assign a libref to the data library. (See LIBNAME for complete information about using the LIBNAME statement under CMS.) The libref identifies the library and some of its characteristics to the SAS System. Thereafter, you can use the libref as a convenient way of referring to the library in your SAS programs. However, keep in mind the following points when you identify SAS data libraries under CMS: Under CMS, you often do not need to assign a libref to disk-format data libraries. (For sequential files on tape or on disk, a libref is always required. A libref is also required for disk-format files that are stored in an unaccessed SFS directory.) See Working with SAS Files on Disk for an explanation of how SAS locates disk-format data libraries. Under CMS, you can also use the CMS FILEDEF command to assign a DDname to the data library. Thereafter, you can use the DDname just as you would use a libref. However, see Advantages of Using the LIBNAME Statement or Function for some important considerations. For information about the CMS FILEDEF command, see Using the CMS FILEDEF Command . In DMS mode, which is accessible through the SAS Explorer or the LIBASSIGN command, is the "New Library" dialog for assigning librefs. Using the LIBNAME Statement or Function Advantages of Using the LIBNAME Statement or Function Although you can use the CMS FILEDEF statement to assign DDnames to your SAS data libraries, there are several reasons for using the LIBNAME statement or function (and librefs) instead: The CMS FILEDEF command is not portable to other operating environments. The LIBNAME statement or function is portable with minor changes to the physical name and options parameters. If you use the LIBNAME statement or function, you can allocate your data library for only as long as you need it, and then "free" (deallocate) it. By contrast, DDnames that are allocated externally remain allocated for the duration of the SAS session or job. (The LIBNAME CLEAR statement clears an externally allocated libref, but it does not deallocate the file. See Clearing Librefs and DDnames .) DDnames that are allocated externally cannot be reassigned later by a LIBNAME statement or function. You receive an error message in the SAS log that states that the DDname is currently assigned. By using macro statements and the LIBNAME statement or function, you can conditionally allocate files. You cannot assign an engine when you allocate a file externally. SAS uses the procedure described in How SAS Assigns an Engine When No Engine Is Specified to determine which engine to us
