Hi: As Reeza suggests, the ERROR message is accurately telling you what is wrong. You do not have a correct path to your CSV file. I am not sure you followed ALL the code in the solution. I believe in the actual solution it has: infile "&path/newemps.csv" dlm=','; The &PATH is critical. It holds the name of the fully qualified path you are using. Remember in the very first Chapter of the book, the very first demo, you submitted a program to make the data. That program also makes the &PATH helper variable. Here are some examples: %let path=/folders/myfolders; or %let path=/folders/myfolders/ecprg193; <-- for SAS University Edition %let path=c:\workshop\prg1; <-- Windows %let path=/home/userid/prg1; <-- SAS On Demand Next, your setup statements were supposed to include the LIBNAME for ORION: libname orion "&path"; Because the &PATH helper variable is not just there for purposes of the LIBNAME statement, In Programming 1, we also intend for you to use &PATH in the INFILE statement to supply the fully qualified path. Or, as an alternative, if you made the course files in C:\sas_class\pg1, then you could do this: infile 'c:\sas_class\pg1\newemps.csv' dlm=','; But that means every time you use an INFILE statement, you will have to remember and code the exact correct location. cynthia ...
