I am currently using SAS Studio, and have not had any problems importing previous data, but for some reason I continue to get the following warning:

The table "WORK.WAGE" cannot be opened because it does not contain any columns.

 

And the following is the code that I am using:

 

data wage;
infile "/home/z17438810/my_courses/STAT 640/wage.dat" firstobs=2;
run;

 

Click the Link  to view the wage.dat file to prove that there are in fact columns.

You are missing an INPUT statement to read in and create columns of data.
