Hi,

I am new SAS users. I am creating the RTF output and I encounter the issues below. Can anyone show me what is the problem?

Hi, try removing the space after 301 in your pathname & change your folder name to match. You also need to use the rtf extension as in:

ods rtf file="C:\RTFreport.rtf";

It is always a very bad idea to have blanks in directory and file names, as they cause confusion.

So I suggest you rename the directory in the Finder (you use a Mac, right?) to 301_Assignment, and use a name of A1.rtf for the file, making the ODS statement look like this:

ods rtf file="/folders/myfolders/301_Assignment/A1.rtf";

Also take care of the spelling and capitalization, both OSX and the Linux in the University Edition virtual machine are case sensitive.

The Mac path (/Users/.....) is not visible in the virtual machine; you can only use /folders/myfolders or a subdirectory there.
