Steve,
You are right unless in Shaunak's MF environment HFS (Hierarchical File System) is set up and running, making the ambiance indistinguishable from UNIX (through the user's prism, of course), -- which methinks is likely judging from the file name referenced in the LIBNAME statement. In this case, the error may lie elsewhere, but we will not know until s/he reveals what it is.
Kind regards
