recover the orginal eu_occ.sas7bdat data set

[rjrobenson]

I am taking the SAS Programming 1: Essentials course. I completed Challenge Practice: Creating a Lookup Table from a Detailed Table (https://vle.sas.com/pluginfile.php/800788/mod_scorm/content/268/03/epg1v203_4_p_l3.htm).

But now that I want to complete the Level 1 Practice: Creating a SAS Table task (https://vle.sas.com/pluginfile.php/800791/mod_scorm/content/267/04/epg1v204_1_p_l1.htm), my data eu_occ.sas7bdat data set looks like my answer for Challenge Practice: Creating a Lookup Table from a Detailed Table. 

I must have overwritten the dataset without noticing. I was wondering if I am able to recover the original eu_occ.sas7bdat table. Creating a new pg1 library will not work because the orginal eu_occ.sas7bdat table is overwritten.

My guess is you need to re-run the createdata.sas program you originally did to create the data sets. Or one of the programs in between that created it. I would suggest doing this in a new folder/path to not erase anything else you've done so far.

Hi:
The good news about the data creation program is that it only refreshes the class data. It does not overwrite or delete anything the student has created. That means if the original data has accidentally been corrupted, re-running the data creation steps will refresh the class files back to day 1.
