Check your infile statment, looks like the path got copied twice :

 

    infile "/folders/myshortcuts/Myfolders/Book3.txt/folders/myshortcuts/Myfolders/Book3.txt";

You can always right-click on a file to look at its properties in the sidebar in SAS Studio. From there, you can select and copy the text to paste it into your code.
