Which client are you using (SAS Enterprise Guide)?

If it is SAS Enterprise Guide: Do you see the library anywhere (eg. under "Server) or do you just run some sample code assuming that the library has been assingned already?

Hello Patrick

Thank you for your response.

I was practicing how to create a listing report using SAS 9.3

then I was trying to add code to create this listing report of the SAS data set named pilotdata, I used the PROC PRINT step to do so. This is the actual code I wrote in Editor window:

proc print data=sasintro.pilotdata;

run;

After I submited the code I got this ERROR in log : ERROR: Libname SASINTRO is not assigned

How can I assign the Libname SASINTRO ? If I slove this error, will I be able to creat a listing report?

Thank you so much

Hi,

You can assign you libname to SASINTRO like

Libname SASINTRO 'F:\test';

proc print data=sasintro.pilotdata;

run;

Thanks,

Shiva

Are you following the lessons at http://wenku.baidu.com/view/08e86d15f18583d0496459e6.html?

SASINTRO is not something built in to SAS. It is a user-provided name. If you reference it without having defined it you will definitely get errors.

So be sure to follow the instructions in Lesson 4 about the LIBNAME statement.
