A problem in defining library for a course.

[VinayCV]

Even this is not working %let homefolder=/folders/myfolders/coursedata/ECST142/data;

73 %let homefolder=/folders/myfolders/coursedata/ECST142/data;

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;

I am not currently running SAS UE, but the look/feel of SAS/Studio is the same no matter where the SAS server is.

You can find the path that SAS uses for your folders from the Server Files and Folders area on the left side of the screen.  Right click (or whatever the Mac equivalent of right click is) on a folder or file and select properties.

Then you can see the path that SAS is using for that file or folder. 

Use that path in your SAS code.

Hi:
Please go into SAS Studio. Then, go into the Server Files and Folders pane. It seems you are using SAS University Edition. Look for the My Folders top node and expand that. Under My Folders you should see your ECST142 folder. It looks like you may have introduced an extra level "coursedata" into your folder path. This is not what we expect in our setup program. We expect the ECST142 folder to be DIRECTLY underneath the My Folders top node in SAS Studio.. Under ECST142, you should then have a data subfolder, if you followed all the instructions for the setup.

SAS Studio has a never fail, perfect way for you to find the path you need for your %LET statement. Inside the Server Files and Folders pane, navigate down under My Folders. Click to expand ECST142. You should see the data subfolder. Right click on the data subfolder. Choose Properties in the popup window. When the Properties window opens, there is a Location field in the window. That Location field shows the EXACT physical path you need to use.

Note that the University Edition virtual machine with SAS inside is a UNIX machine. So that means C: drive locations and Windows slashes (\) will NOT work. If you have ECST142 directly under My Folders, then you should see THIS location in the Properties window for the data subfolder:
/folders/myfolders/ECST142/data <---- note the UNIX slashes and the leading slash before the path. You MUST use this leading slash in the physical path.

Hope this helps,
Cynthia
