Did you check if there is any dataset APRSALES in the path /folders/myshortcuts/myfolder/aprsales

I guess there is no dataset by name aprsales in the path given or even if there is a file by name aprsales it might not be a sas dataset (sas7bdat).

Please check

As above. You probably mean:

libname jack '/folders/myshortcuts/myfolder';
proc print data=jack.aprsales;
run;

You set up your myfolder incorrectly. Follow the installation instructions exactly, then the other posts on here and instructions will work as expected.

Your folder is called myfolder (no s) when it should be myfolders.

Set this up, restart your VM and then use the path and code below, I suspect this is what you're trying to do anyways...a stab in the dark really. You should include more details in your post in the future.

libname jack '/folders/myfolders/';

proc print data=jack.aprsales;
run;
