ERROR: Libref ORION is not assigned.

Hello there,

I have created the library called Orion and assigned the library to the enviornment by executing 'setup' folder under Snippet. But I am getting the error: 'Libref ORION is not assigned'. Do I need to add an 'Infile' statement? I am trying to create a temporary data set named q1birthdays from the input data set orion.employee_payroll.

Please see the codes below:

libname orion "/folders/myfolders/ecprg193";

data q1birthdays;
   set orion.employee_payroll;
   BirthMonth=month(Birth_Date);
   if BirthMonth le 3;
run;%let path = Filepath;

Thank you for your time.

Sahib

If you get that error, it means that the libname statement failed. Check the spelling of the physical path; be aware that UNIX is case-sensitive.

Post the log so we can see the error message.

Re-run the setup as well and include the log if that has errors.

I am a beginner and Ihave the same problem.

I am following the steps in " Setup Instructions for SAS University Edition" by running below lines:

%let path=/folders/myfolders/ecprg193;
libname orion "&path"

But I stuck at below errors:

1 OPTIONS NONOTES NOSTIMER NOSOURCE NOSYNTAXCHECK;

62 %let path=/folders/myfolders/ecprg193;

63 libname orion "&path"

65 OPTIONS NONOTES NOSTIMER NOSOURCE NOSYNTAXCHECK;

_______

ERROR: Libref ORION is not assigned.

ERROR: Error in the LIBNAME statement.

ERROR 22-7: Invalid option name OPTIONS.

71 ODS RTF (ID=WEB) CLOSE;

72 ODS PDF (ID=WEB) CLOSE;

(This sometimes results from failing to place a RUN statement before the ODS PDF(WEB) CLOSE statement.)

I carefully read the instructions, but can not figure out.

Please kindly help.

As any SAS statement, the libname statement needs a closing semicolon.

Because of the missing semicolon, the following options statement is misinterpreted as (invalid) part of the libname statement.

Oh, such a simple mistake.

Thank you very much.
