If you are using University Edition . Should look like :

infile '/folders/myfolders/test.txt';

Or use the following code to check how your paht should look like .

%let x=%sysfunc(pathname(work));
%put &x ;

1. Go back and read the installation instructions
2. Verify shared drive is set up (myfolders)
3. Move file to myfolders
4. Use path as follows '/folders/myfolders/student.txt';

You need to precede your INFILE statement with a DATA statement:

data mandy;

infile .......;
