ERROR: the following text is a syntax error: "proc" (1,1)

I am a beginner using SAS for stats 3. I have been trying to use this software without luck.

I type the code

proc glm data= homework 6;

Model y=x1 x2;

this part above does not even work

then I have to

Estimate “L=b0+300*b1+150*b2” intercept 1 x1 300 x2 150;

all code is given by my professor and when I try to do anything I get the error message

ERROR: the following text is a syntax error: "proc" (1,1)

it seems that not even the first word in my line is correct even though I copy and pasted it from my professor

Please help lol I need this data to do a95% CI for mean response and new value response

thanks!

The code in your first post does not match the code in your later photograph.

In the first one you have space in the middle of the dataset name, before the digit 6.

proc glm data= homework 6;

In the photograph the code is missing the semi-colon to end the PROC statement. So instead of a PROC statement and a MODEL statement you have just a PROC statement with a MODEL option, which is invalid syntax for PROC GLM.
