Did you have a step where you had to import the GROCERY_COUPONS data?  If so, you need to share that log information.  In the step you shared, that data set is missing and so that's the cause of this error.  But we need to see what went wrong before that step.

[Tom]

The error message is that you are trying to set in an existing SAS dataset, but SAS cannot find the dataset that you named.

Are you sure that you have a SAS dataset of that name?

Is it possible that you pointed the CLASS3 libref to the wrong directory?

Look into the directory that CLASS3 points to and check if there is a file there named 'grocery_coupons.sas7bdat'.  If you are using Unix (if you are using SAS University Edition then you ARE using Unix) then the filename must be in all lowercase latters.

Most likely the issue is with the previous step that was to create that dataset.
