In your software depot you need to have the following file:
C:\SAS Software Depot\products\oraclebndl__93210__win__xx__sp0__1

How to create library for Oracle in SAS?

In this article, you will get details about creating a new library using SAS Management Console. Here, I have provided the procedure for creating library for Oracle database. However, the steps will be same for other databases like SQL server, Teradata etc.     Creating connection to Oracle database: To create library, you must first create a connection to Oracle database in your host machine. Host machine is the physical location where your SAS platform is installed. Details like Oracle database hostname/IP address and DSN/SID name is needed. Those details should be entered in tsnnames.ora file.

Screenshot of error: Solution: This error occurs when you try to run OS commands in SAS code. To run the OS commands in SAS code you need to enable XCMD option.
