Data entry statement

[6071]

HI,

I haven't used SAS in awhile, and I'm working with an old program and am receiving a data error.  I couldn't figure out how to add updated data to the current file, so I updated the data in a text file and am now trying to get it to read it in.  Here is the error statement I am receiving along with the code (note:  I starred out the previous data statements I was using).  Thanks for any help you can provide.

ERROR: Physical file does not exist,

You're accessing SAS with a client like SAS EG and SAS Studio that executes SAS on a SAS Server. 

The paths you're using must be valid on the Server which I assume is Linux. You can't use local Client side paths like D:\inflation.txt

All paths must be accessible by the SAS Server and they must look like the Server "sees" them.

Thanks for your feedback.  So the data I have is on a thumb drive.  How do I get it into SAS studio to access it?

SAS Studio is your CLIENT. You need to upload your data to the SERVER where SAS executes.

See if below instructions can help you how to do so.
