Libname Code No Longer Working After Switching from Virtual Box to SAS On Demand

[murphym6]

Hi All,

       So, I wrote a decent amount of code last year while using SAS on virtual box; however, in preparation for my manuscript, I've had to look back at the code to run one or two more tests now using SAS On Demand, but when I attempt to run the program, I receive an error message that the libname does not exist. The code worked without error previously , so the only change has been not using virtual box. I'm hoping there is an easy fix to this, but so far, I have been unable to assign a libname in SAS On Demand and can't get any of the code to run. Thanks in advance!

Well, that's certainly odd.

Would you please post your Libname code and your log?  If you would, it's very helpful if you use the following icons to post code and log with:

Virtual Box used files and directories on your local computer, SAS on demand can only use uploaded files.

University Edition used a shared folder on the host computer, On Demand runs in the cloud and has no connection to your local storage apart from the upload/download facility in SAS Studio.

So you need to adapt your physical names, instead of /folders/myfolders use /home/username, and upload your existing files to your home directory.
