New version of SAS changed mydata folder ?

Hello,

I have been trying to adjust to the changes in the new version of SAS studio. It deleted mydata folder. Because I am trying to import data into a perminent folder. I also am trying to import a csv file using proc import. I know I coded this correctly. However, ever since i updated sas, the log states " Error: Library mydata doesn't exist." Thus, it also has an error stating the file i am trying to create doesn't exist. So I went back to the libname statement log for this is as follows:

1 OPTIONS NONOTES NOSTIMER NOSOURCE NOSYNTAXCHECK;

62 libname mydata "/folders/myshortcuts/myfolder";

NOTE: Libref MYDATA refers to the same physical library as SASUSER.

WARNING: Library MYDATA does not exist.

NOTE: Libref MYDATA was successfully assigned as follows:

Engine: V9

Physical Name: /folders/myshortcuts/myfolder

62 ! run

64 OPTIONS NONOTES NOSTIMER NOSOURCE NOSYNTAXCHECK;

65 ODS HTML CLOSE;

66 &GRAPHTERM; ;*';*";*/;RUN;QUIT;

67 QUIT;RUN;

68 ODS HTML5 (ID=WEB) CLOSE;

70 ODS RTF (ID=WEB) CLOSE;

71 ODS PDF (ID=WEB) CLOSE;

NOTE: ODS PDF(WEB) printed no output.

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

72 FILENAME _GSFNAME;

NOTE: Fileref _GSFNAME has been deassigned.

73 DATA _NULL_;

74 RUN;

NOTE: DATA statement used (Total process time):

real time 0.00 seconds

cpu time 0.00 seconds

75 OPTIONS VALIDMEMNAME=COMPAT;

76 OPTIONS NOTES STIMER SOURCE SYNTAXCHECK;

libname mydata "/folders/myshortcuts/myfolder"; run;

Why doesn't the mydata folder exist anymore ? Also, the other day i tried the sasuser folder instead, and I was in the same situation. What is going on ?

Thanks,

LMP

You forgot an 's'.

It's myfolders that it's expecting, all lower case.

Delete the shared folder in Virtual box, rename the folder in windows, and then add it back to the shared paths.

The 'connection' to your previous myfolders may be gone, but if you know where you set it up you can set up the new version to the same location and you'll be fine.
