SAS Programming I Lesson 2 Libname Activity

sportyluis — Sat, 30 Nov 2019 15:41:15 GMT

Hi,

I can't find the np_info.xlsx file on my computer so I'm getting an error when trying to run the libref activity below. I tried &path but then it gives me an error regarding the C:. I tried searching on my computer for np_info.xlsx and can't find it. I went through the steps again to download the file courses and it all works. What am I missing?

Perform the following tasks in your SAS software:

Open a new program window.
Write a LIBNAME statement to create a library named NP that reads np_info.xlsx in the course data as follows:
- SAS Studio: Specify the full path to your EPG194/data folder and the complete file name.
- Enterprise Guide: Specify &path and the complete file name.
Run the LIBNAME statement.

Hi there,

Are you using something like virtualbox to run SAS studio?

I should have mentioned I'm using Enterprise guide. I figured out a solution as I was missing the semi-colon. however I thought libname was a global statement so I thought I didn't need the semi-colon.

All SAS statements need a terminating semicolon.
