This section describes errors you may receive while trying to
use the SAS System to access files (either external files or SAS files). Whenever
you have trouble accessing files, always check the validity of your FILENAME
and LIBNAME statements and functions to make sure they point to the right
files. Also, be sure you are using the correct fileref or libref.
Core catalog cannot be initialized. Please verify the system's
date/time.
- The date or time stamp of the SAS System's
CORE catalog is in the future. Make sure the date and time on your machine
are set correctly. This message is issued in conjunction with internal error
602 (see Resolving Internal Errors).

- A DLL-dependent file cannot be found when
the requested file is loaded. For the SAS System, the !SASROOT\CORE\SASEXE
file (usually specified with the PATHDLL system option in the SAS configuration
file) may have become unavailable. This may be due to a network error or other
drive failure. Ensure that PATHDLL specifies the location of !SASROOT\CORE\SASDLL.

file
- the product you called is not installed
- a dependent image is not
installed.

error can also occur if you are trying to write to a write-protected diskette.
