Hi,

I have been using the SAS - On demand - version and I tried to create libname which will access sas data

from the folder in my local C drive, but it is always showing that library  does not exist.

libname sasdata "\C:\datasets\sasdata";

Why is it not working. Do I have to sas software for that?
