sas - Use of wildcards in a fileref generating Insufficient Authorization message -
is there sas system option, configuration parameter, or other scenario might disable use of wildcards in fileref? following code works:
filename thefile "/sasrep/poc/ungmpw.pro" ; data _null_; infile thefile; input; run;
whereas following code:
filename thefile "/sasrep/poc/ungmp?.pro" ; data _null_; infile thefile; input; run;
generates error message:
error: insufficient authorization access /sasrep/poc/ungmp?.pro.
this using sas 9.1.3 on unix.
i think in order use wildcards assign multiple files single fileref, need wrap files in parentheses... e.g.
filename multi ("myfiles*.txt")
