HI,

Must be something with the export engine. I added the "xport" as you suggested but I got the following error

3 libname out ''; ERROR: Module SASPCEN0 not found in search paths. ERROR: Error in the LIBNAME or FILENAME statement.

looks like either a missing module or must be another way of transferring files. Thank you for the suggestion and rapid response
