Hello I'm trying to do this portion of the tutorial:
Then I run into a runtime error where the first error message seems to be:
ERROR: File WORK.CORE_SCORE.DATA does not exist.
My Code:
proc sort data=<EMWS3>.score_SCORE out=bestlist;
by descending ep_target_b;
run;
proc print data= bestlist;
var control_number ep_target_b;
run;
The libname does not actually belong in <brackets>. If you have defined EMWS3 in a LIBNAME statement, use data sets within the folder without brackets:
proc sort data=EMWS3.score_SCORE out=bestlist;
SAS documentation uses brackets to indicate something is optional. So if you were dealing with a temporary data set in the WORK library, you could refer to the data set as either WORK.score_SCORE or score_SCORE.

Thank you Astounding and Cynthia. The initial error message has gone away. Now I'm left with:
ERROR: File EMWS3.SCORE_SCORE.DATA does not exist.
I will go through the Programming 1 and see if that reveals anything that would help me.
Edit:
Reading this revealed that my EM_IMPORT_DATA was not named SCORE_SCORE.DATA
