On  Sun  Sololaris,  with sas 9.1.3, I want to save the  content of
dataset to a text file. Any idea why this does not work.?


data null;
 set test3;

file  "/export/samfs-bcf/rcf-12/mkhan//
Create_account_&uscid..&rundate..txt";

put col1;
run;


Getting follwing error messages:


             23

 set test3;
put col1;
run;
