SAS® 9.4 Cert Prep: Part 02 Accessing Data -- RUN ERROR ON DATA/CODE PROVIDED IN LEARNING MATERIALS

[RickyGS]

Hi!

I am undertaking the SAS® 9.4 Cert Prep: Part 02 Accessing Data on LinkedIn Learning. As part of the course materials, I am attempting to upload the createdataPG1_oda.sas file onto my EPG194 folder under files and run the code. When I run the code, the log shows 3 errors and 1 warning message, and is unable to execute the code.

I have attached the log error for reference.

LOGCODE

[fja]

could you post the name and path of your EPG194 folder please? Rightclick.

edit: ... and could you get the epg194.zip file into it, please?

[RickyGS]

/home/rickysaldanha0/EPG194/createdataPG1_oda.sas

Yes, when I ran the code for the above SAS file, the epg194.zip file was created.
/home/rickysaldanha0/EPG194/epg194.zip

Any Errors?

[RickyGS]

Yes. The original post has screenshots and attachments for reference.

WARNING: Apparent symbolic reference FILECOUNT not resolved.
ERROR: A character operand was found in the %EVAL function or %IF condition where a numeric operand is required. The condition was:

ERROR: The %TO value of the %DO I loop is invalid.
ERROR: The macro UNPACK will stop executing.

right before the 404 Error is a pointer (that is downloaded) could you print this in a copyable format here please?
It seems, that you cannot access the URL ...

[RickyGS]

See the attached notepad.

There is a problem with the url coded into the macro. When typing "http://dl.liveweb.sas.com/eldata/pg194_oda_linkedin.zip" into a standard browser i do get an 404 Error as well ..

Where have you got that sas code from?

[RickyGS]

The SAS code was already part of the SAS file "createdataPG1_oda" shared as part of the training.

I am attaching the zip folder as shared in the training.

Well, as you do not to have the coordinates of a responsible person, we needed to wait for a day or two ... maybe it is only a temporary problem. let me contact one of the admins here ... maybe he knows some internal channel to address  ... I will keep you posted.

Thank you for helping!

My pleasure. 🙂

The thread has been moved to the "Certification" category to attract the attention of the responsible people. Just lets wait on a bit ... 🙂

Currently the link works again. Could you again try to run your sas code, pls?
