*** 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.
