Hi,

If I run a PROC IMPORT on an Excel file and specify the name of the sheet I want to load and the sheet does not exist, an ERROR is generated. Since my programs are running with OPTIONS ERRORABEND, the job halts, even though it is a normal situation that the sheet I specified does not exist.

Is there any way to check on forehand whether the sheet exists or not? Note that on the (server) machine that this program runs on, Excel is NOT installed.

Cheers, Bart.
