ERROR: Physical file does not exist, C:\Users\Ivan Arroyave\[FILENAME].cor.

Hi, all.

I'm trying to impute a database from SAS, and I'm using the same syntax I successfully used before. But the logs tells me that a .cor file is not found (I'm not familiar with this kind of files). and the imputation was not generated. Do you have any idea to help me? Attached the syntax and the log:

SYNTAX:

/* Impute values for marital status and education based on: year SEXO CODPTORE CODMUNRE AREA_RES agey5 */
