Trouble using input data for SAS Base practice exam

Hello All!

This might be daft question but I have been having trouble taking my practice exam, below are the instructions using the data however I didn't think theirs anything else to do on my end since the needed dataset is populated and in my repository.

I just used this simple code to test it out

But I am getting the above log messages and no idea why the dataset is empty any help would be appreciated.

@monval01

You'll need to assign the INPUT libname first

Libname input "<SomePath>";

Check the instructions if any, and you should find a reference to this Libname statement.

Disclaimer: I'm not familiar with this Base Practice Exam materials, but I have a feeling you are missing a setup step.

Hope this helps
