Hi,

When using sas.get() to import a SAS dataset on our network file system, I get the error message listed below. We have versions of S-Plus on Unix and Windows, and I'm getting errors on all installations. Is this error something generated by S-Plus, SAS, or the operating system? What does it mean?

The input is:
>getDir <- "/home/me/"
>getFile <- "myData"
>sas.get("getDir", "getFile")

S-Plus 6.2 on Unix error is:
sas: '_temp_.log' - No such file or directory.
Problem in sas.get(getDir, getFile): SAS job failed with status 256
Use traceback() to see the call stack

S-Plus 7.0 on Windows 2000 error is:
Invoking SAS for Windows.  Click the SAS icon if you want to watch.
Problem in - attr(system(...), "exec.status"): Unable to execute 'sas C:\DOCUME~1\tumb\LOCALS~1\Temp\in00310C.tmp.sas -log _temp_.log -icon', exec.status = 2 (The system cannot find the file specified. Full path needed?)
Use traceback() to see the call stack

Thanks in advance,
Thom
