How to read a .sas7bdat into sas?

[YangYY]

Hi, I got a supplement data and I know I can upload it into sas file.

Now I want to modify the data but I don't know how to use it because normally the data set would be stored in library.

Can anyone give me an example code?

Thank you

The supplement data is something.sas7bdat.

Assigning a libref to the directory in which the file is stored should solve the issue.

Thank you for your reply.
I am a beginner so could you please give me an example and code to show me?
I will be grateful 🙂

Suppose you have a file

xx.sas7bdat

in directory

/level1/level2/level3

then you would do

libname mylib '/level1/level2/level3';

proc print data=mylib.xx;
run;

to run a simple procedure against this dataset.
