How to create a shared file in SAS Studio via WRDS?

[Alan_Ciao]

Hello, 

I am using SAS Studio via my WRDS account, but because it is not through VirtualBox but directly through my browser, I don't know how to create the shared file and save my datasets in a permanent place. The dataset is really big and it always takes a long time to run the code and because I cannot create my library to store it, I have to repeat to create them every time.

I have tried solutions like https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Analytics-U/Practice-datasets/m-p/148714#M412, but it is for SAS UE. and with UE, I cannot access to my WRDS account anymore, because once I run these codes:

%let wrds=wrds-cloud.wharton.upenn.edu 4016;

options comamid=TCP remote=WRDS;

signon username=_prompt_;

there are errors:

73 %let wrds=wrds-cloud.wharton.upenn.edu 4016;

74

75 options comamid=TCP remote=WRDS;

76 signon username=_prompt_;

ERROR: The SAS/CONNECT product with which the global statement 'signon' is associated is either not licensed for your system or the

product license has expired. Please contact your SAS installation representative.

ERROR: The SAS/CONNECT product with which the global statement 'signon' is associated is not found in your sas registry. Please

76 signon username=_prompt_;

ERROR 180-322: Statement is not valid or it is used out of proper order.

Can anyone give me some hints, please? Thank you for your kind help.

Hi: You would not be able to use SAS/Connect with the SAS University Edition. So you must be using SAS Studio with WRDS in a different way.

You might want to read the WRDS FAQ page : http://www.whartonwrds.com/wrds-advantages/faqs/ and contact their Help Desk. If they were the ones that wrote the signon script and provided the signon instructions, it might be better for you to work with them. Their email is listed as:
wrds-support@wharton.upenn.edu

Hi Cynthia,

Thank you for your reply. I have contacted the Help Desk and once I get the solution I will post it here.
