Communications Access Methods for SAS/CONNECT and SAS/SHARE Software

Windows: NetBIOS Access Method

SAS/CONNECT

Various errors may occur when you initially try to establish a connection over a network with the NetBIOS access method. Many of these problems are related to the network. SAS/CONNECT attempts to present an error message that indicates the cause of the error. The following section explains the most common problems in establishing NetBIOS communications.

ERROR:  Network request failed rc=38. 
Requested resource(s) not available.

There are not enough system resources available to satisfy either the VQMLINKS or the VQMCONVS request. This error can be caused by either of the following situations:

The default value for either VQMLINKS or VQMCONVS requests more resources than are available. The default value for both options is 0, which implies 16 NetBIOS sessions and 16 commands with most implementations.
You have specified a value for either VQMLINKS or VQMCONVS and there are not enough resources to satisfy the request.

To correct this error, specify a new value for either VQMLINKS or VQMCONVS on either the local or the remote session, as appropriate.

ERROR:  Network request failed rc=22. 
Too many commands outstanding.

The number of simultaneous sessions that are requested is greater than the allocated commands allow, and the request has failed. You are using too many resources.

To correct this problem, either increase the number of sessions that are allowed or decrease the number of simultaneous sessions. To increase the number of sessions that are allowed, increase the value of the VQMCONVS option on either the local or the remote session, as appropriate, provided sufficient system resources are available. In general, one session is required for each concurrent SAS/CONNECT session as well as each remote LIBNAME.

ERROR: Network request failed (rc 0x14) - 
Cannot find name called.

The SAS/CONNECT spawner program cannot be found. Verify the following:

you have the proper network selected
you have specified the correct name for the spawner program
the spawner program is started.

ERROR: Network request failed (rc 0xA7) -  
Unknown NetBIOS return code.

NetBIOS is not set up to run in the Windows environment.

ERROR: File not found loading  \sas\core\sasexe\sasvnnet.dll; 
File contributing to error: ACSNETB 
ERROR: File not found loading  \sas\core\sasexe\sasvnmne.dll;
File contributing to error: NETAPI

The NetBIOS access method was loaded but the supporting vendor software was not found.

ERROR: Network request failed (rc 0x05) -
 Command timed out.

During a NetBIOS SIGNON, SAS.EXE could not be executed from the directory that the spawner program is executing from. Ensure that SAS.EXE is located in either the OS/2 PATH variable or in the spawner's current directory.

SAS/SHARE

The NetBIOS access methods used by SAS/SHARE sometimes issue generalized messages to identify problems. The following are the most frequently encountered:

Network request failed (rc 0x30) - 
name defined by another environment.

Another server that has the same name is already running on the network, or another NetBIOS application is using the name. Choose another name.

Network request failed (rc 0x38) - 
requested resource(s) not available.

Insufficient resources specified. Either use the VQMLINKS and VQMCONVS variables to cause SAS to ask for less resources, or reconfigure NetBIOS so that there are more resources available to NetBIOS applications. Reconfiguring NetBIOS is system and vendor specific.

Network request failed (rc 0x14)
- cannot find name called.

The server that was specified by the SERVER= option cannot be located on the network.
