You have to first import your text file and then you can use it, you cannot use it directly as indicated.

Try a PROC IMPORT to first import your data, once imported, use the SAS dataset created.

Thanks a lot. But how to import my text file in SAS studio (the data is in '/folders/myfolders/poly.dat').

PROC IMPORT or see this video:
