From SAS Studio (Viya), how do I reference a file that is stored in My Folder or SAS Content?

rgreen33 — Fri, 16 Oct 2020 19:22:01 GMT

I am working on a script in SAS Studio (Viya). I need to reference a file in My Folder or SAS Content. How can I find the path of my file so that it can be used in my script? Everything that I try keeps give me the following error: Physical file does not exist.

Thanks,

Ricky

If your code or data is stored in the SAS Content/SAS Folder tree, then you can use the FILESRVC file access method.

See here for an example: https://go.documentation.sas.com/?cdcId=pgmsascdc&cdcVersion=9.4_3.5&docsetId=lestmtsglobal&docsetTarget=p0qapul7pyz9hmn0zfoefj0c278a.htm&locale=en#n0jkbbdvak6hann1og91a9o280rh

@BrunoMueller, I am still not able to get this to work. It is probably worth noting that I am trying to use this with %shpimprt, as my shapefilepath. Any ideas? Can my shape file be in SAS Content, or must it be on the file system?

I found that I could place my files in the /data/home/my_user folder. I was then able to access my files via this path in my script.
