Trying to upload a .sas7bdat file on SAS

kathrynssy — Thu, 26 Oct 2023 02:20:39 GMT

I uploaded a .sas7badat file on SAS OnDemand

Then I try to click on the file CompAssign2.sas7bdat, it shows "File _TEMP8.COMPASSIGN2.DATA does not exist."

Then I go ahead and create a LIBNAME:

And it was successful?

Then I went to the library and check. I does has a library names "HW2". But when I click on the "COMPASSIGN2" it shows error "File HW2.COMPASSIGN2.DATA does not exist.":

I then try to run proc.contents, and it shows error"ERROR: File HW2.COMPASSIGN2.DATA does not exist."

So now I cannot move forward to run anything without able to load the dataset. PLEASE HELP

You don't say anything about the environment you are working in but if this is SAS on Demand I believe that is Unix/Linux based so all name like folders and files are case sensitive. Since you are showing mixed case in many places that gets much harder to keep track of how the system actually wants them. Try making all the folders and file names lower case.

What happens when you right click and select properties for the .sas7bdat file?
On which O.S. and SAS environment was the .sas7bdat file created?
If you have access to a local sas installation can you open the .sas7bdat file on that environment?

A .sas7bdat file MUST be named all lowercase, especially on UNIX systems.

Rename your file to

compassign2.sas7bdat
