Library not working SAS Studio on Mac

[zoebaccam]

Hello,

I'm having a problem where my Mac is saving data as a document instead of SAS file. This is making me have problems when importing my documents to my library. The documents are available in my folders but not my library even when trying to import to a new library. I'm using Google Chrome. Has anyone had this issue before?

Sorry you are having this problem - can you attach a screenshot? I am assuming you are using SAS Studio on SAS OnDemand for Academics, correct??

Hi. I feel like I got it partially worked out, but every time I upload my dataset to SAS Studio, it reads as 0 observations despite not showing any errors in importing. How do I fix this? Attaching a screenshot of my code.

Your picture does not show any SAS datasets.

The filename for a SAS dataset must be in all lowercase on Unix. 

Rename the file to us the right case and then it will be visible to SAS.

When you try to reference a dataset named either haiti.hTIr71Fl or haiti.HTIR71FL SAS is going to look for a file named htir71fl.sas7bdat.  Since Unix file systems are case sensitive there is no file with that name.  

You should have the same trouble on you MAC since it is also using a Unix filesytem.  If you create a file name FRED.TXT and then try to open a file named fred.txt it will not find it.

Okay I renamed the file and tried the libname function again, but my dataset has 0 observations despite being in my library now. Is there a fix to this?

Thank you!

Your screenshots still look confusing.  Now instead of showing the FILES you appear to have switched to showing DATSETS in librefs.  So on the left you appear to be showing a dataset with member name of DATA in a libref named HAITI.  Also another libref named HAITIDAT.  You then try to reference a dataset named HAITIDAT in the libref  HAITI.  But I don't see any such dataset in that libref in the images on the left.

What did you name the file?

What directory is the file in?
What directory is the HAITI libref pointing at?  Run this code to check the dataset in the HAITI libref.

proc contents data=haiti._all_; run;

What directory is the libref HAITIDAT pointing at?  Run a similar PROC CONTENTS step for that libref also.

I'm also very confused lol. I have just consolidated it down to the HAITI library in My Libraries. 

When I run the code below, I get the screenshotted output

libname Haiti "/home/u49642626/Haiti";
data haiti;
set haiti.haitidata;
run;

proc contents data=haiti._all_;
run;

The whole filename, including the extension, must be lowercase.

Wow... thank you so much. I was so confused!
