You might want to remove the "/ Store" parameter on the macro call. I grabbed that from one of my production macro libs and should have taken it out.

Don,

I don't have a rewritable DVD to write to for complete testing, but I do have a a recordable CD as media to test this with. I need to buy some R/W DVD's I guess. I can write/copy a data set to CD-R no problem with WPS and I suspect SAS will work the same way. Here's my code.

libname mylib clear; libname mylib 'c:\testcd';

%macro CopyFile(FromDest,ToDest) / Store; %let _copystmt = %unquote(%str(%'copy "&FromDest" "&ToDest" /y%'));

x &_copystmt; %mend Copyfile;

data mylib.testb; do ii=1 to 10000; a=ranuni(0); b=ranuni(0); c=ranuni(0); d=ranuni(0); e=ranuni(0); f=ranuni(0); g=ranuni(0); h=ranuni(0); i=ranuni(0); aa=round(c*10,1); output; end; run;

%copyfile(c:\testcd\testb.sas7bdat,f:\testb.sas7bdat);

You might be able to write directly to it if you try using a tape engine or the SAS sequential engine too. But at any rate, this gets your data set onto recordable media.

Has anyone written directly to a DVD drive using SAS? ver 8.2 ? ver 9.x?
