I am running a program with a macro containning a %do loop. For any reason I get the error that a data set is unavailable for use. I have a SAS program installed on a serveur machine and also on my local machine. I execute my program by remote (rsubmit) from my local machine to the SAS serveur machine. Then, I get the error. The error occur randomly on different data set each time I re-execute the program and occur on a data step or a proc sort or proc sql. All my data set are writen in the serveur drive. Thus I don't use the work area at all. My data sets are very big so it take many hours to process. Note that I never reuse the same name (input data set is not the same as the output data set). Finally I tested the program on a local sas program but with my data set on the serveur and I got the same error. How can I fix that problem ???
