Subject:      DDE not responding in SAS
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

My SAS doesn't responding when I use DDE.
 
The code I submitted is below
options noxwait noxsync;

x '"c:\program files\microsoft office\office11\excel.exe"';

/* Open spreadsheet to write to */

filename sas2xl dde 'excel|system';

data _null_;
file sas2xl;
put '[open("pathname")]';
 
I tried this code on another computer, it worked. I guess that this is because DDE can not be set up on this computer, so the problem exists in "filename sas2xl dde 'excel|system';"
 
However, can anybody how to fix this error, this may not SAS problem? but Where I can start to debug this error?
 
Thanks!!!
