Lockdown State

Hi!

I am trying to read an external file with the following statements but I receive an error in the log window. This is done after I replaced SASUniversityEdition with folders in the file path as a suggestion earlier made on this platform. Any useful info, pls.

data trial;
infile '/Users/user/folders/myfolders/vex/bern_copy.txt';
input name $ age sex $;
run;

****************************************************************************

ERROR: The path /Users/user/folders/myfolders/vex/bern_copy.txt is not in the list of accessible paths when SAS is in the lockdown

state.

You must use the shared folder as it is seen from inside the virtual machine:

infile '/folders/myfolders/vex/bern_copy.txt';

Thanks for your contribution. I tried it using the original file path but got ERROR still.
data trial;
infile '/Users/user/SASUniversityEdition/myfolders/vex/bern_copy.txt';
input name $ age sex $;
run;
