A newbie needing more help with the physical file does not exist error. Please help!

Nealli — Fri, 24 May 2019 20:20:58 GMT

My professor has given me the following code but when I try to make the change to the path I continue to get the same message that it doesn't exist. I'm not sure if I'm putting the file in wrong or what's going on. I have tried numerous file names and paths, but nothing seems to go anywhere. (I've tried desktop folders, virtual box folders, SAS folders), so I'm obviously doing something wrong. I appreciate any help you can give me.

This is what my professor gave me:



options nodate nonumber;
*ods pdf file=":\Users\khalil.shafie\OneDrive - University of Northern Colorado\courses\SRM-602\Summer2018-1\Assignments\hw2\sasoutputasgn02.pdf"  style=rtf notoc;

* Reading the data set in SAS ;
Data HSB;
INFILE 'C:\HSB.TXT' delimiter = '09'x;
/*change 'C:\' to an appropriate location*/
INPUT ID SEX RACE SES SCTYP HSP LOCUS CONCPT MOT CAR RDG WRTG MATH SCI CIV;

* Q8 ;

        

proc means data=Hsb n mean stddev ;
   var  CONCPT WRTG ;  run;
quit;    

proc freq data=Hsb ;
   table RACE*SEX/ nopercent nocol norow  ;  run;
quit;    


* Q9;

PROC MEANS  DATA=HSB MEAN STD STDERR N T PRT LCLM UCLM;
VAR CONCPT;
run;
* Q10;
DATA SET2;
SET  HSB;
ADJMATH = MATH-50;

PROC MEANS  DATA=SET2 MEAN STD STDERR N T PRT  alpha=.01 LCLM UCLM;
VAR ADJMATH ;
RUN;





*ods pdf close;

This is one of the things I've tried:

options nodate nonumber;
*ods pdf file=":\Users\khalil.shafie\OneDrive - University of Northern Colorado\courses\SRM-602\Summer2018-1\Assignments\hw2\sasoutputasgn02.pdf"  style=rtf notoc;

* Q8 ;

        

proc means data=Hsb n mean stddev ;
   var  CONCPT WRTG ;  run;
quit;

SAS UE uses local drive that you set up on start up, which is it a linked drive. You access it via:

/folders/myfolders/FILES.

Another option, create a shared folder to your files. Then go to Servers Files & Folders and find the file. Right click it and copy the path from properties and use that.
