Pasting in a screen shot of the practice-data and Cert folders I created and the programs I uploaded. The book advises the practice-data and Cert folders will already by in SAS Studio, I did not see those folders so I created them. I copied in the new folder path, per the book, pp. 3, ran the cre8data.sas program, got these errors:&nbsp;</P> <DIV id="sasLogWarning1_1677533803815" class="sasWarning">WARNING: Physical file does not exist, /diane.diane3/Cert/cre8permdata.sas.</DIV> <DIV id="sasLogError1_1677533803815" class="sasError">ERROR: Cannot open %INCLUDE file /diane.diane3/Cert/cre8permdata.sas.</DIV> <DIV id="sasLogWarning2_1677533803815" class="sasWarning">WARNING: Physical file does not exist, /diane.diane3/Cert/cre8workdata.sas.</DIV> <DIV id="sasLogError2_1677533803815" class="sasError">ERROR: Cannot open %INCLUDE file /diane.diane3/Cert/cre8workdata.sas.</DIV> <DIV id="sasLogWarning3_1677533803815" class="sasWarning">WARNING: Physical file does not exist, /diane.diane3/Cert/cre8flatfiles.sas.</DIV> <DIV id="sasLogError3_1677533803815" class="sasError">ERROR: Cannot open %INCLUDE file /diane.diane3/Cert/cre8flatfiles.sas.</DIV> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="sasmn_1-1677533850428.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://communities.sas.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/80911i4F204E4BFCCDB963/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="sasmn_1-1677533850428.png" alt="sasmn_1-1677533850428.png" /></span></P> <P>The log file is attached, thanks for any help!</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Mon, 27 Feb 2023 21:44:20 GMT sasmn 2023-02-27T21:44:20Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Certification/Having-problems-Setting-up-practice-data-for-Base-Programming/m-p/861231#M1544 <P>Hello, I'm following the directions is the Certification Prep Guide, gotten error messages several times.

I logged out of the SAS Studio environment completely. When I logged back in, I got a pop-up saying a newer version of cre8data was available. I opened and ran the newer version, the code ran without errors. hth</P> Tue, 28 Feb 2023 01:48:42 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Certification/Having-problems-Setting-up-practice-data-for-Base-Programming/m-p/861259#M1545 sasmn 2023-02-28T01:48:42Z
