How run a downloaded macro file?

Hi,

I was trying to run a downloaded macro file and got the following error messages. How can I run the macro and input the variables for the macro? Thanks a lot!

proc iml;
%include "E:\New folder\New Folder (2)\Udrive201508\Research\warranty\process.sas"; run;

%process (data= , vars= , y= , m = , x= , v= , model=15);run;

WARNING: Physical file does not exist, E:\New folder\New Folder (2)\Udrive201508\Research\warranty\process.sas.
ERROR: Cannot open %INCLUDE file E:\New folder\New Folder (2)\Udrive201508\Research\warranty\process.sas.

From where did you download the code?

Fix your error messages, in order.

WARNING: Physical file does not exist, E:\New folder\New Folder (2)\Udrive201508\Research\warranty\process.sas

For some reason, SAS can't find the file you pointed to:

1. Verify that it's correct.

2. If you're using SAS on a server, it likely can't access your desktop and you need to move the file to a location it can access.

3. If you're using SAS UE, it's the same situation as above, except follow the instructions to access myfolder
