A problem in defining library for a course.

[jeannabil]

Hello All, 

i am new user to the SAS software and was following the setup instructions for SAS University Edition: SAS Studio. 

On TASK 2: step number number , it says that " In the Server Files and Folders pane, expand the ECST142 folder. Right-click the data folder and select Properties. Highlight the filepath shown in Location and copy it. Close the Properties window."

ECST142 does not display on server files and folders pane. and when i try to copy the path from the original folderon my PC, I recieve an error message says:

"1 OPTIONS NONOTES NOSTIMER NOSOURCE NOSYNTAXCHECK;

72

73 %let homefolder=C:\Users\brujnab1\Documents\SASUniversityEdition\myfolders\ECST142;

74

75 libname STAT1 "&homefolder";

NOTE: Library STAT1 does not exist.

76

77 options fmtsearch=(stat1.myfmts);

78

79 proc format library=stat1.myfmts;

ERROR: Library STAT1 does not exist.

80 run;

WARNING: RUN statement ignored due to previous errors. Submit QUIT; to terminate the procedure.

NOTE: PROCEDURE FORMAT used (Total process time):

real time 0.00 seconds

cpu time 0.00 seconds

NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors."

Can any body help me to resolve this issue?

You're following the wrong instructions or set it up incorrectly. For SASUE your path should be something like:

/folders/myfolders/ECST142

You do not reference the C drive directly since SAS cannot access it.

Thank you for your reply, I followed your instructions but i think the error as the following:
"ERROR: Library STAT1 does not exist"

STAT1 exists i libraries pane but not server files and folders.

Please post the code you executed.

[jeannabil]

myfolders\ECST142

This can't be the code you tried to execute.

When using SAS UE you have to use the Linux/Unix path separator, so replacing \ with / is a good start.

thanks for your reply... i changed it, but the same error.

Look at my answer again. Use it EXACTLY as posted and post the log.

Hi,

Not sure how this problem was solved.

I am facing the same issue that  NOTE: Library STAT1 does not exist.

I tried using / instead of \ - same error

Is there anything we need to set up for the first time using SAS Studio and browser and VM?

[Reeza]

Did you create the myfolders folder as part of the set up?

Show the code you used and your log.

Please post your complete log (definition of any macro variables and the LIBNAME. Use this button to post the log:

[Tom]

You posted this:

73 %let homefolder=myfolders/ECST142;

You were instructed to use a path like:

/folders/myfolders/ECST142

Can you see the difference in what you typed and what you should have tried?

[VinayCV]

Hi,

I none of below is working,

libname STAT1 "folders/Users/vv/Downloads/coursedata/ECST142";

 libname STAT1 "\folders\Users\vv\Downloads\coursedata\ECST142";

libname STAT1 "C:/Users/vv/Downloads/coursedata/ECST142";

libname STAT1 "C:\Users\vv\Downloads\coursedata\ECST142";

libname STAT1 "C:/Users/vv/Downloads/coursedata/ECST142";

[Tom]

None of those look like they could work because they are not under the required mapped folder:

/folders/myfolders/

The first one is using a relative path.  That will NEVER work with UE since the current working directory is pointing to a directory that you cannot modify in any way.

The second one cannot work since it is using the Unix escape character, \, instead of the path separator, / . So it is also a relative path.

The last three cannot work since they are using Window/DOS filenames.
