Help with 'infile' in SAS university

[concernedRock]

Hi all!

I've been trying to open a file for the past hour, and it's driving me crazy.  I have a file called 'temp3.txt' with the address

'C:\SASUniversityEdition\myfolders\temp3.txt'

and I tried to use the inline command to open this in SAS UE with the '/folders/myfolders/...' path:

DATA temp3;
	infile '/folders/myfolders/temp3.txt';
	input subj 1-4 gender 6 height 8-9 weight 11-13;
RUN;
PROC PRINT data = temp3;
	title 'Output dataset: TEMP3';
RUN;

But I when I run this code, I get an error message saying

1 OPTIONS NONOTES NOSTIMER NOSOURCE NOSYNTAXCHECK;

55

56 DATA temp3;

57 infile '/folders/myfolders/temp3.txt';

58 input subj 1-4 gender 6 height 8-9 weight 11-13;

59 RUN;

ERROR: Physical file does not exist, /folders/myfolders/temp3.txt.

What am I doing wrong?

1. Double check that your myfolders is set up properly. If the following runs correctly it is. 

Libname test '/folders/myfolders'

2. Make sure your file is properly referenced - it is case sensitive. 

Sorry about two posts. Slight issue posting

Thank you for the reply.  When I run your code, it does give me an error saying "Libref TEST is not assigned".

However, I checked my virtual machine setting:

1) Shared Folders is set to "Enabled", and

2) The host path "C:\SASUniversityEdition\myfolders" is added under the name "myfolders" (in "Folder sharing" tab).

Yet it still does not work.  Do you think I should just re-install the program?

Probably don't need to reinstall. Myfolders is all lower case? Set up in VM? 

Try restarting VM?

It started working after I restarted the VM twice.  Wow, thank you so much!  🙂
