Problems using the EG course material.

[SaintRegent]

Hi there,

I am pretty new to SAS so this may be a daft query. I am working my way through some course material on EG and have been happily opening and maniupulating the supplied datasets in my own projects.

The problem is when I open one of the readymade supplied projects, the datasets in the project flow point to the WORK library e.g. WORK.MNTH8_2007.

The work library is essentially empty so I get an error when I try to open them.

I do have these datasets (e.g. MNTH8_2007) in a folder on my own drive but am unsure how to utilise them in this scenario.

Regards,

John

Hello Saint Regent,

You can simply copy the dataset to work library like this:
[pre]
libname my 'C:\MyLib';
data MNTH8_2007;
set my.MNTH8_2007;
run;
[/pre]
where C:\MyLib is a folder on your drive contaning the dataset.

Sincerely,
SPR
