This is my first time ever doing this. Yet I was given the code for it and I'm not sure why it's not working. I'm trying to read in a permanent SAS data set and analyze the data. I put the data set into the folder I'm using, wrote down the exact code my professor gave us and I get the error message that the file does not exist. It's in my folder I assure you so I'm not sure what could be wrong. Yet, I've never done this before, I usually just import excel files into SAS so I don't understand what could be wrong. Here is my code, I hid my pathway:   libname session1 "C:\x";   data one; set session1.hmda_subset_rev19; proc conents; run;   This is what's in the log: libname session1 "C:\x"; NOTE: Libref SESSION1 was successfully assigned as follows: Engine: V9 Physical Name: C:\x 2 data one; 3 set session1.hmda_subset_rev19; ERROR: File SESSION1.HMDA_SUBSET_REV19.DATA does not exist. NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors. WARNING: The data set WORK.ONE may be incomplete. When this step was stopped there were 0 observations and 0 variables. NOTE: DATA statement used (Total process time): real time 0.03 seconds cpu time 0.01 seconds   4 proc conents; ERROR: Procedure CONENTS not found. 5 run;   I don't know what is going wrong. Thanks.   ... View more

Everything has worked well up until the point I tried to log my variable RINC. Then I get this error message: NOTE: Variable RINC is uninitialized. NOTE: Missing values were generated as a result of performing an operation on missing values. Each place is given by: (Number of times) at (Line):(Column). 200 at 66:10 NOTE: There were 200 observations read from the data set WORK.PANELPROJ. NOTE: The data set WORK.TWO has 200 observations and 9 variables. NOTE: DATA statement used (Total process time): real time 0.07 seconds cpu time 0.01 seconds   Here's my full code. I hit my pathway.   ibname session1 "C:\x"; PROC IMPORT OUT = panelproj DATAFILE = "C:\x" DBMS=csv REPLACE; run; proc contents; run; proc print; run; data one; set panelproj; if year = 2004 then cpi = 188.9; if year = 2008 then cpi = 215.303; if year = 2012 then cpi = 229.594; if year = 2016 then cpi = 240.007; RINC = INC/(CPI/100); run; proc contents; run; proc print; run;   proc means; class year; var RINC UR educ VT; run;   data two; set panelproj; logRINC= log(RINC); run;   proc print; run;   My code when I try to log my variable is not turning blue which makes me think I'm writing the code wrong. This is the way I did it in SAS studio but it may be different for SAS 9.4.  ... View more

I'm using sas on demand for my project.
