SAS Note: SN-003515
Product: CONNECT
Component: RLIBRARY
Title:
SAS/CONNECT may replace datasets even when NOREPLACE option is set
Keywords:
CONNECT REPLACE DATASETS FILE NOREPLACE OPTION OBSERVATIONS REMOTE
SUBMIT SUBMITTED RLS LIBRARY LIBNAME ERROR BY VARIABLE PROPERLY SORTED
WORK MERGE RSUBMIT
Text:
A remote submitted data step that encounters errors will erroneously
replace a permanent file if there is a RLS library associated with the
SAS/CONNECT session even if the RLS library is not being used. This
problem will only occur if the SERVER= value and the REMOTE HOST NAME
are the same. Following is an example that will cause this problem:
LIBNAME TESTLIB SLIBREF=WORK SERVER=RMT1;
RSUBMIT RMT1;
OPTIONS NOREPLACE;
DATA A;
DO I=1 TO 20;
OUTPUT;
END;
RUN;
DATA B;
DO I=1 TO 3,5,4;
OUTPUT;
END;
RUN;
DATA A;
MERGE A B;
BY I;
RUN;
ENDRSUBMIT;
Data step errors may be written in the SAS log leading the user to
believe that the dataset was not replaced. The example above would
produce the following error.
ERROR: BY variables are not properly sorted on dataset WORK.A.
In this case, you would not expect the dataset to be replaced, however
it does get replaced.
As a workaround, do not assign remote libraries before executing your
remote submit.
