Hi All,

I am trying to execute a SAS code where the output is through DDE
function. Its showing me the error:

ERROR: DDE session not ready.
FATAL: Unrecoverable I/O error detected in the execution of the data
step program. Aborted during the EXECUTION phase.

Any idea why this error is occuring?

The code I run is for 8 different product line where the output is
generated for 4 product lines and for remaining 4 there is no output.
Could this error be the reason?

Thanks.

You have alredy received a lot of good advice, but I didn't see anyone ask
the obvious question: Did you first open the program (Word, excel, or
whatever) that you were trying to write to?
