Here is the log when I try to run the code in the setup.sas file for the Essential Training I:

ERROR: Open code statement recursion detected.

Here is the code:

This is the first step towards setting up the course. I am using SAS Windowing environment 9.4. Why can I not create this library?

You had unbalanced quotes in code you submitted earlier. Start a new SAS session before running this code.
