I am trying to run this simple datastep and SAS gives me an error. I have tried renaming the dataset but it gives me 'invalid sequence' error. Can someone help me understand what does this mean and how can I correct it.

data WAI_DIS.Test_data_mod;

set WAI_DIS.Test_data;

run;

75 data WAI_DIS.Test_data_mod;

76 set WAI_DIS.Test_data;

77 run;

ERROR: Invalid sequence of commands for file WAI_DIS.TEST_DATA.DATA.

NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors.

WARNING: The data set WAI_DIS.TEST_DATA_MOD may be incomplete. When this step was stopped there

were 0 observations and 100 variables.
