SAS Programming 1: Essentials Lesson 6 Activity p106a02.sas

My previous post relating to my issue with this activity related to the library error which I was able to fix! Now I'm having a different issue.

This is the warning: 

proc export data=pg1.storm_final
74 outfile="&outpath/storm_final.csv"
WARNING: Apparent symbolic reference OUTPATH not resolved.
75 dbms=csv replace;
76 run;

I also have an error: 

ERROR: Physical file does not exist, C:\Users\learnsas-16391\&outpath\storm_final.csv.
NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors.
NOTE: There were 1 observations read from the data set PG1.STORM_FINAL.
NOTE: DATA statement used (Total process time):
real time 0.00 seconds

Immediately prior to this question, there is a prior activity "Create a Macro Variable (Required)".  That step has the instructions for creating the macro variable &outpath.

As mentioned there in one of the options, you will need write access to this directory.  If you don't know where you have write access, you could use:

%let outpath = %sysfunc(pathname(work));

That will write your output files to the temporary work directory used by your SAS session.
