SAS data sets references in Learning SAS by Example.

[TonyJr]

Hi there. I'm teaching myself SAS using Learning SAS by Example a Programmer's Guide by Ron Cody.

I am in chapter 7 solving the problems. My question is where I can find (download if possible) the following SAS data sets?

1) Hosp 

2) Sales

3) Blood

4) Bicycle

I tried library sashelp but they are not there.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you,

TonyJr

Hi,

Go to this website: https://support.sas.com/en/books/authors/ron-cody.html  and scroll to the version of the book you have. There will be a link that you can use to get to a zip file that contains the data.

Hope this helps!

Also, look carefully in the zip file for instructions. In many of Ron's books, he provides a program that you have to run to MAKE all the data used in the book.

Hi:

  Suggest you read the Instructions.docx document in the zip file, as shown below:

 When I review the Create_Datasets.sas program, I see the code to create several datasets with HOSP in the name. And, when I change the LIBNAME statement at the top of the Create_Datasets.sas program and then run the program, as instructed, I get ALL the datasets that he uses in the book. What is in the zip file is NOT everything you need. All the SAS datasets are created when you run the creation program. Without this setup, you won't have any of the SAS datasets.

Same problem I also facing

If it is the same problem, the same solution will work. If the solution does not work, you have a different problem, in which case it is best to start a  new topic in the "New User" section where you describe your issue in detail.
