libname cert 's:/workshop';

I'm preparing for the base sas certification. Can anyone please help me with the code above.

I'm getting below error

libname cert 's:/workshop';

NOTE: Library CERT does not exist.

As I am going through the practice questions please help me on how to access the data file in lib.

You may have a couple things going on here that are causing problems.

What lab environment are you using (the lab provided with the exam, on demand for Academics, your own install?)

The is a PDF included in the practice exam (must access before you start the exam) that explains how to access data on the different lab versions. Start with that.

If you are using SAS via SAS/Studio interface then the files need to be on the machine where SAS is running, not the machine where you are running the browser you are using to connect to SAS/Studio.

SAS/Studio has a file upload feature. Use that to upload files. You might need to first create a directory to mimic the structure the SAS code wants.

Yes, what Tom said. The instructions for loading the data and creating the libraries is in the PDF file that is part of the practice exam.

At the same time, make sure that you understand how libraries work before you take the practice exam. All of your preparation (learning SAS and studying the content guide) should be complete before you take the practice exam, which should be the final step before you take the actual exam. Don't take the practice exam as part of the 'learning SAS' portion of your preparation.
