Right click that folder and find the path, then assign your library accordingly.

If this is related to your prior question, then it's possible your IT team has mapped the drives, but it may not be H on the server. So if you find the correct path from the servers 'point of view' then your prior approach is correct, libname statement + code.

Yes, I did that and I am getting a Note saying that library does not exist.

Is this Windows or UNIX?

You could try this for Windows:

LIBNAME Adi_Data	'\\adithya\ds1062\Aug2021\data';

or this for UNIX:

LIBNAME Adi_Data	'./adithya/ds1062/Aug2021/data';

I'm genuinely curious as to how the solution Jim provided is different from what you had generated by following my instructions which you said didn't work.
Does EG not provide the path in the correct format? It would be useful to know that information.

Hi,

This is the solution, so I copy the path from sas library. It worked.

Thanks,
