Usually it is located inside the zip file with the course data and code which you download from the course webpage.

All the bets

Hi Bart,

there is only two files there: createdata.sas for set up and setup.sas. Do you think it is the setup.sas codes?

Kind regards,

Candida

libname PG1 "&path";

%include "&path/_1create_class.sas";
%include "&path/_2create_natpark.sas";
%include "&path/_3create_storm.sas";

proc contents data=pg1._all_ nods;
run;

this is the required exercise I am trying to do

Follow the instructions for your software to create a macro variable that stores the location for output files.

SAS Studio

In your EPG194 folder, open libname.sas.
Create a macro variable named outpath that stores the filepath to your EPG194/output folder:

%let outpath=filepath-to-output-folder;

Run the code.
Check the log to be sure there are no errors, then save and close the program.

Please check to what library data sets created in the `%include "&path/_1create_class.sas";` code refers? If it is PG1 then the `libname PG1 "&path";` in setup.sas may be the one you are looking for.
