libname pmlr "%put &PMLRfolder";

Is incorrect syntax for a Libname. %put says to write to the log and has no place in a libname statement.

libname pmlr "&PMLRfolder";

May work if the path S:\workshop exists on your system.

I ran that change and I received these errors

You changed the definition of the PMLRfolder macro variable to

%let PMLRfolder=/home/u47259455/Data/pmlr00d01.sas;

Libname references a storage area, in this case it should be just a folder. You have assigned it to a text file: pmlroodo1.sas which is a program.

MAYBE, I have no clue where you put the, I believe training materials, you want

%let PMLRfolder=/home/u47259455/Data;

before executing the libname statement. Maybe.
