Hi:
The name ECPRG193 is the folder name we used at least 3 years ago. I am not sure how you are still getting that folder name when we no longer have that e-learning class on our system. What you needed to do for your libname statement program was this:
%let path=/folders/myfolders/ecprg193;
libname orion "/folders/myfolders/ecprg193";
or
%let path=/folders/myfolders/ecprg193;
libname orion "&path";
You needed to have the helper macro variable &PATH in place and defined because many of our programs used &PATH in the program.
However, we no longer use the ORION data in our current classes and as far as I know, there are no elearning classes that reference that older data.
So I am concerned that you are following the wrong instructions and taking the wrong class. My suggestion is that you send mail to elearn@sas.com from the email address that you're using for e-learning so they can check how you have access to such an old class and so they can correct the problem and make sure you get access to the most current class.
That older class is not in sync with the newest Certification exam.

PS... If you have a folder in SAS University Edition, left over from taking the Programming 1 course before, please DELETE that folder. Before you email us, please go back into the e-learning course and double check the instructions under #2 as shown below:
You should be seeing that you have to make a folder name of EPG1V2:
You CANNOT use the older data with the newer course -- nothing with match up. Please do NOT use any data from an older version of Programming 1.
The code you posted code never work. If your SAS session is running on Windows then you need drive letter in front of the colon in the path used in the libname statement. But anyway the error message you posted makes it clear that your SAS session is running on Unix and not on Windows so the path is wrong in many more ways than just a missing drive letter. If you are really running SAS University Edition then the path must start with /folders/myfolders/. That is the only place the virtual machine were SAS is running where you can write.
You were supposed to change the string FILEPATH to the path that works on your machine but not make any changes to the code LIBNAME statement. That is what the words in all uppercase in that comment mean.
Hello all,
I started from scratch.
I installed "Get Free SAS" one more time and followed up the instruction on the --
SASUniversityEdition. The libname GP1 is created successfully.
