Hi friends,
Myself Sunil, started learning sas recently. I am trying to create permanent sas library in Windows 7.
Path: D:\Sunil_P
libname data_set v9 'D:\Sunil_P\'; But I am getting warning message "NOTE: Library DATA_SET does not exist."
What type of SAS installation are you using?
- SAS University Edition?
- SAS On Demand?
- Local with DMS?
- Local with Enterprise Guide?
- Remote (on a server) with Enterprise Guide or SAS Studio?
Also provide the relevant log from the execution of the libname statement.
Does the directory D:\Sunil_P exist?
Like Chris_NewZealand asked, are you sure D:\Sunil_P\ is a physical location on your computer?
One way to find the exact syntax of an existing location on your computer is to locate the folder/location you want to store your SAS data set(s) on your computer. Right click on a file that already exists in this folder. Then, click on "Properties." Copy the path that is listed after "Location:". Paste this path between the quotes of your libname statement, replacing "D:\Sunil_P\"
Hope that helps.
