HELP! Coding help BASE

[mgrzyb]

Hi,

I have NEVER  had this problem in my LIFE!    What is wrong??   

My code for a perm SAS dataset won't read. It keeps coming back saying there is no library.  I have used this code all my life! 

MY CODE

options linesize=132 pagesize=60 nocenter date; *center;
                        options pageno=1;
LIBNAME maosi 'C:\sas\a_study\maosim';
libname library2 'c:\sas\a_study\maosim';
options fmtsearch=(library2);

proc contents data=maosi.datatable; run;

It keeps putting this out in the log:

ERROR: Library MAOSI does not exist.
133 run;

The folder c:\sas\a_study\maosim does not exist. Go to your WIndows Explorer and figure out what happened, did you spell the name wrong, or did the folder get moved/renamed/deleted, or whatever.

Oh  my gosh, I made a simple mistake in where the files came from.  Once I relocated the files, it worked. Thank you.

It might help to show us the LOG starting from the LIBNAME MAOSI statement.

Copy the log from that statement through the Proc contents with the error and any messages. Paste into a code box opened with the forum's {I} or "running man" icon.
