Hello,

I am completing the activity in lesson 2 and I can't seem to get the proc contents statement right. I'm copying the file path from the file properties folder so I don't know why it won't work. Any help appreciated. Attaching the activity as well as screenshot of SAS studio.

Hi:
In addition to missing the quotation marks around the entire path it also looks like you did not copy the full path. Note that in your File Properties window, the entire path starts with a / before the home:
/home/u60771593/EPG1V2/data/storm_summary.sas7bdat

So you have 2 corrections to make in your code and then the PROC CONTENTS should work.
