Hi, i am following the sas programming 1 with sas studio interface. At lesson 2, first activity, is required to open the storm summary table from the data folder. Unfortunately I can not find this file in the data folder. I just noticed there is a excel file in the data folder called storm and including the same information, but is not the file required by the excercise and so i can not follow the exercise steps.

On the e-learning it should be the first part where it says Course Overview and Data Setup (Required). Here is a link, it should get you there.

 

There are also some videos that can help you during the setup. Here is the link for those: Videos. Make sure to watch the video for your specific setup.

Did you run the programs to create thee SAS data sets? if so, the files are in the folder just above Data (EPG194) or in the PG1 library I believe.

Hi I came across the same issue, but my situation is a little different. I am using SAS OnDemand for Academics. I am pretty sure I set up the data sets correctly because I am able to find PG1 library and the exact table under the PG1 library. I am able to perform other tasks. To double check, I went through the video, and I did exact the same thing as shown in the video. However, when I ran the code, it still says "file does not exist". I got some confused. Could you please help me?

 

71 proc contents data="EPG194/data/storm_summary.sas7bdat";
ERROR: File EPG194/data/storm_summary.sas7bdat does not exist.

That path looks incorrect for Academics on Demand. Use the Servers Files and Folders pane and find the file. Right click it and select properties. That will provide the path.

Thank you ....  thank you!  That worked great.  I was having the exact same issue and was seeing the file in MyFolder but when I was using the location of it, the file name was too long.  Such an easy resolution😁

Hi,

 

the file "storm_summary" does not exist in my data folder.

 

I'm using SAS University Edition and have followed all the steps in the Course setup. I get the following message when I run setup.sas:

/*
NOTE: Libref PG1 was successfully assigned as follows:
Engine: V9
Physical Name: /folders/myfolders/EPG194/data
*/
 
I have attached a screenshot so you can hopefully help me access storm_summary.

According to your screen capture, a SAS data set named storm_summary does not exist in that folder.

 

Did you try the suggestions already mentioned in this thread?

Run the following and post the log:

 

proc contents data="/files/myfolders/EPG194/storm_summary.sas7bdat";
run;

In my EGP194 the data set is one level above the data folder.

This worked, thank you. I still can't find where it said to do this in the instructions posted in the solution appearing earlier in this thread.

Need a bit more information. Where are running SAS? Are you using one of the free versions: SAS On Demand for Academics or SAS University Edition? Can you see the folders and programs for the course? The Activities, Demos, Practices folders?

 

You most likely need to set up the data correctly. In the solution answer there are some links.

The coursedata.zip file does not contain the storm_summary.sas7bdat table.

Hi Peter,

 

I'm having the same problem following the SAS Programming 1 course using SAS University Edition. The file coursefiles.zip (https://vle.sas.com/pluginfile.php/800779/mod_scorm/content/66/coursefiles.zip) presented in Data Setup does not contain the file storm_summary.sas7bdat.

 

"Open this ZIP file and extract the files to the SASUniversityEdition/myfolders folder on your computer. The unzip process creates a folder named EPG1V2 that includes two SAS programs (setup.sas and createdata.sas) and five sub-folders: activitiesdatademosoutput, and practices."

Thanks for your help!
