ERROR: The path specified for caslib MYCASLIB is not an absolute path

Hello Everyone.

I'm using Viya through a Virtual Environment and a VPN , when i try this code :

caslib myCas datasource=(srctype="path") path="MyPath" sessref=mySession subdirs;

libname myCas cas

I get this Error:

ERROR: The path specified for caslib MYCASLIB is not an absolute path: MyPath.

ERROR: The action stopped due to errors.

Any Suggestion or Solution Would be Much Appreciated , Thank you.

CAS runs on UNIX; an absolute path in UNIX needs to start with a forward slash.

Is mypath intended to be a macro variable? If yes, you forgot the &: &mypath.
