Hello Friends
When I try to create dataset from SASHELP, I am getting this error.
This is the query I used:
your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Thank you so much Cynthia.
Hi:
The error message tells you what is wrong. SASHELP is read-only library. Your programs do not have write access to create SASHELP.CARS1. However, you could try this:
data work.cars1;
set sashelp.cars;
run;
Using a temporary location should be OK because every SAS session has a WORK location where your programs should have write access.
If you want to write the CARS1 data to a permanent library, then you'll need to define one in a folder where you have WRITE access:
libname permlib "path-to-write-access-location";
data permlib.cars1;
set sashelp.cars;
run;
Hope this helps you run your code,
Cynthia
Thank you so much Cynthia.
