Do you have instructions in the course work that you are following to set this up? The error shows that you are connected to run SAS on a remote server (Linux may be) and trying to import data from your local laptop/desktop.

You can

Copy the course work to your account on the

From Windows File Explorer drag workshop folder to your account home in EG.
Change path macro variable assignment from
- %let path=H:\, to
- %let path=~

Supposing the windows H:\ folder is accessible from your EG login account through a server side mount point the system administrator setup.

Presume server path /sas/training connects to the same resource that H:\ does in Windows
- %let path = /sas/training/

The instructions are:
/* Windows/UNIX */

/* STEP 1: Notice the default values for the %LET statements. */

/* STEP 2: If your files are not to be located in S:/workshop */
/* change the value of PATH= in the %LET statement to */
/* reflect your data location. */

/* STEP 3: Submit the program to create the course data files. */

/* STEP 4: View the Results and verify the CONTENTS procedure */
/* report lists the names of the SAS data sets that were created.*
