Can you check the contents of your APPLE library to confirm whether or not the dataset really exist?

proc contents data=apple._all_ nods;
run;

[tianerhu]

Thank you .

Yes , i am not make sure that .

l always don't understand this point------- how to check check the contents of the APPLE library to confirm whether or not the dataset really exist?

Would you like teach me how to do that ?

[novinosrin]

I requested you to run this earlier

proc contents data=apple._all_ nods;
run;

and let us know what you see in output window(list)

[tianerhu]

data  females;
   set apple.survey;
where Gender = "F" ;
run;
proc contents data = apple._all_nods;
run;

There is a blank space betweeen _all_ and nods. See below plz

proc contents data=apple._all_ nods;
run;

[tianerhu]

Yes , it work well now.

i check that folder with your method , yes, the survey file is not there , and after i move the survey file to where it should be the code works . 

Thank you so much.

[novinosrin]

Good. I'm glad you've found it.
