"WARNING: No logical assign for _WEBOUT" occurs


The following warning might occur when executing a SAS® Stored Process:

WARNING: No logical assign for filename _WEBOUT.


One possible reason for receiving this warning is if the _WEBOUT fileref has been cleared in the SAS Stored Process program by specifying either

filename _all_ clear;


or

filename _webout clear;
 

To avoid this warning, ensure that your SAS Stored Process does not clear the _WEBOUT fileref. In most SAS Stored Processes, it is not necessary to clear the _WEBOUT fileref because the fileref is automatically de–assigned when the SAS Stored Process completes.

See SAS Note 33585, " 'WARNING: No logical assign for filename _WEBOUT' occurs," for another scenario that results in this WARNING message.
