How to solve problem "ERROR: Physical file does not exist"?

I am learning SAS Programming 1

The program:

data work.donations;
   infile "&path/donation.dat"; 
   input Employee_ID Qtr1 Qtr2 Qtr3 Qtr4;
   Total=sum(Qtr1,Qtr2,Qtr3,Qtr4);
run;

proc print data=work.donations;
run;

Gives the Log:

 1          OPTIONS NONOTES NOSTIMER NOSOURCE NOSYNTAXCHECK;
 55         
 56         data work.donations;
 57            infile "&path/donation.dat";

 60         run;

You did not define &path as it does in the sample code. Go back to that screen shot of instructions you posted last time. It has the path defined that you should as well.
