Bob,
I think that you need to specify the transported dataset name, not the libref,
like so........
libname my 'c:\sas\ftp';
proc contents data =my.temp;
run;
Try that and see what happens.
Cheers,
Richard Cooke

Uploading & Downloadingdata sets - MVS/ESA w/ SAS 6.09 & Win
Hi SASLer's,
i am experiencing all kinds of problems moving files between systems so
for now I'm just taking baby steps. Here is my partial code for creating
the transport file on MVS. I just received the SAS Companion for MVS
Env. but I didn't get much out of it.
//WORK1 DD UNIT=(SYSDA,5),SPACE=(CYL,(900,200))
//TRANSP2 DD DSN=DMSDV.ICMSMODL.TRANSP2,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// UNIT=SYSDA,
// DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=8000),
// SPACE=(CYL,(10,5),RLSE)
//SYSIN DD DATA,DLM=$$
//SYSIN DD * GENERATED STATEMENT
LIBNAME TRANSP2 XPORT;
NOTE: Libref TRANSP2 was successfully assigned as follows:
Engine: XPORT
Physical Name: DMSDV.ICMSMODL.TRANSP2
DATA TRANSP2.TEMP;
RETAIN J 10;
DO I= 1 TO 10;
J=J+1;
OUTPUT;
END;
RUN;
NOTE: The data set TRANSP2.TEMP has 10 observations and 2 variables.
NOTE: The DATA statement used 0.03 CPU seconds and 1442K.
Next, I download the file using Extra! and set the scheme to binary into
directory c:\sas\ftp. I have also
done this thru binary with FTP. Now comes the fun.
I'll try something like:
libname my 'c:\sas\ftp';
proc contents data =my.transp2;
run;
and get
libname my 'c:\sas\ftp';
NOTE: Libref MY was successfully assigned as follows:
Engine: V612
Physical Name: c:\sas\ftp
568 proc contents data =my.transp2;
ERROR: File MY.TRANSP2.DATA does not exist.
569 run;
NOTE: Statements not processed because of errors noted above.
NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors.
NOTE: The PROCEDURE CONTENTS used 0.05 seconds.
I've also used tried using xport like this
libname my xport 'c:\sas\ftp';
NOTE: Libref MY was successfully assigned as follows:
Engine: XPORT
Physical Name: c:\sas\ftp
602 proc contents data =my.transp2;
ERROR: Invalid file name, c:\sas\ftp.
603 run;
NOTE: Statements not processed because of errors noted above.
NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors.
NOTE: The PROCEDURE CONTENTS used 0.11 seconds.
I'm missing something somewhere. Please help because this is only the
beginning.
The final results will be to automate the process so I can submit
everything from the PC. (Without SAS/Connect) and some of this files are
several meg in size. Examples will especially be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Bob Fitzgerald
