*** Very important information regarding running the SAS macro applications online******
In July 2004, we upgraded our web server to Windows2003 and we found out that this server is not compatible with the SAS 8.2 and 9.00 'Filename URL method -file transfer'. You might get "400 bad request" error when you try to run the macro-call files online. SI fixed this problem in version 9.1. However, to overcome this error please do the following:
Solution:
Version 8.2:
Download the following zip file (SN011102.zip) and unzip it.
- Exit any SAS sessions.
- Using Windows Explorer, locate your existing SASXBAMH.DLL
in your !sasroot directory.
This location, by default, is c:\program files\sas institute\sas\v8\core\sasexe
- Locate and rename the file SASXBAMH.DLL to SASXBAMH.DLL.000.
- Copy in the new SASXBAMH.DLL from this .zip file to the 'c:\program files\sas
institute\sas\v8\core\sasexe' folder.
This should fix this error.
- Now test the macro-call file.
