Traiing - Libref PG1 is not assigned

[Peet]

I am using SAS/ML Studio and loading the program as said:

/***********************************************/
/* In the line of code below, replace FILEPATH */
/* with the path to your EPG194/data folder */
/***********************************************/

%let path=C:\Program Files\SASHome\EPG194\data;

/**********************************************/
/* DO NOT EDIT THE CODE BELOW */
/**********************************************/

libname PG1 "&path";

It runs successfully with the following:

NOTE: Libref PG1 was successfully assigned as follows:
Engine: V9
Physical Name: C:\Program Files\SASHome\EPG194\data
15

but when i run the createdata programe the path is not the one i specified :

error message i am getting:

WARNING: Physical file does not exist, C:\WINDOWS\system32\&path\_1create_class.sas.

it does not default to the path specified, I am new to SAS am i overlooking something ?

Thanks

Posting the code/log causing the error would be useful to help you.

The macro-variable path is not defined in the program you have posted. The log has the following warning:

WARNING: Apparent symbolic reference PATH not resolved.

Thank you for the fast reply.

As i said new to SAS, how would i then fix this ? as the first thing we are told to do is the below:

/***********************************************/
/* In the line of code below, replace FILEPATH */
/* with the path to your EPG194/data folder */
/***********************************************/

%let path=C:\Program Files\SASHome\EPG194\data;

/**********************************************/
/* DO NOT EDIT THE CODE BELOW */
/**********************************************/

libname PG1 "&path";

Thank you

[andreas_lds]

You have to execute that part of code each time you start a new session and want to use the variable "path".
