Libname.sas issue on programming 2

eiraduku — Mon, 16 Jan 2023 19:07:57 GMT

Good evening

I am facing a difficulty on running libname.sas to get PG2 library.

I am having an error on submitting libname and when checking on libraries I see that PG2 is there, but I can run the other SAS codes because libname.sas' notes that PG2 does not exist.

libname.sas codes

%let path=s:/workshop/EPG2V2/data;

/**********************************************/
/* DO NOT EDIT THE CODE BELOW */
/**********************************************/

libname PG2 "&path";

notes:

84 libname PG2 "&path";
NOTE: Library PG2 does not exist.

Any help

The name of the folder in the LIBNAME statement is incorrect. The is no such folder as s:/workshop/EPG2V2/data and so SAS cannot find this folder which doesn't exist (and why do you need a macro variable for this anyway?)

I'm guessing, because you didn't provide those details, that you are using a server version of SAS, perhaps SAS Studio, which cannot access your computer's local drives, such as the S: drive. In that case, you would have to upload the appropriate data set(s) to the server, and then access them via the server folder name in the LIBNAME statement.

Thanks.

The issue was on the path to data.
