Is this SAS University Edition? Should the path not be /folders/Myfolders/...xlsx?

Do note, I would use / all the time.

Provided the path is correct, I think you have to use forward slashes all the way?

Backward slashes have a completely different meaning in UNIX than in Windows. Use forward slashes. And start with a forward slash to define an absolute path.
