Hi: The XLSX engine was not production until 9.4 M2. You are still working with 9.4M1. If you cannot get upgraded to 9.4M2, then your options are to either 1) use SAS University Edition in a Virtual Machine with SAS Studio for practicing -- it is running 9.4M5 or 2) use SAS OnDemand for Academics on our Cloud server for practicing -- it is running 9.4 M5. Unfortunately, the newest Programming 1 course uses the XLSX engine extensively and the note you found referred to another, minor issue that needed to be adjusted for earlier versions of SAS. This issue of not having at least 9.4M2 is one that will slow down your work in the course until you can either get upgraded at your site or you use one of the alternate methods that are free for non-commercial learning purposes. Here are the links for either of those 2 options: 1. SAS University Edition in a Virtual Machine https://support.sas.com/edu/locations.html?ctry=us&locationId=ca (videos for your operating system are under this link) 2. SAS OnDemand for Academics – Independent Learner account http://support.sas.com/software/products/ondemand-academics/#s1=2 and here’s a video about how to register and log in: https://www.sas.com/apps/webnet/video-sharing.html?bcid=3794695462001 Cynthia
