GETTING THE RIGHT NAME TO OPEN MY FOLDER

data demographic;    
    infile "/folders/myshortcuts/Myfolders/Book3.txt/folders/myshortcuts/Myfolders/Book3.txt";  
    input Gender $ Age Height Weight; 
    run;

ERROR: A component of /folders/myshortcuts/Myfolders/Book3.txt/folders/myshortcuts/Myfolders/Book3.txt is not a directory.

NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors.

I am using SAS University Edition 1.
I am trying to use my .txt file from myfolder but the path seems to be wrong.

Check your infile statment, looks like the path got copied twice :

    infile "/folders/myshortcuts/Myfolders/Book3.txt/folders/myshortcuts/Myfolders/Book3.txt";

You can always right-click on a file to look at its properties in the sidebar in SAS Studio. From there, you can select and copy the text to paste it into your code.

If you followed the instructions when setting up UE, your path should start with

/folders/myfolders/
