Hi dugginsj,   I watched the videos from @Mark2010 several times and did not see any examples of how I can do what you explained in your last response. He mentions the write-protected files, but no examples of how he accesses the data.   If you could provide an example of how to use the out= in proc sort, it would help me immensely! I don't really understand where to insert the out= statement in a proc statement.   Using your example in your previous reply, here is my attempt: libname editable '/folders/myfolders/editable'; proc sort data = sashelp.cars; out= editable.cars; by msrp; run;   Thank you for all the time you have spent clarifying this concept! ...

Hi dugginsj,   I wrote the following code as a test and it seems to work. Can you confirm that this is what you were talking about?   /* make folder/library read-only */ libname original '/folders/myfolders/original' ACCESS=READONLY; /* create new folder/library */ libname editable '/folders/myfolders/editable'; /* copies all files in 'original' library and moves them to 'editable' library */ proc datasets library=original; copy out= editable; run;   Thanks! ...

The source data sets are write protected. This is to save you from yourself and ensure that you don't corrupt the source data. So don't be surprised when you can't edit the original data sets. You are going to have to save sorted/edited data somewhere else (which is explained within the exam).   I tried to follow the instructions in the exam to work with the write-protected data but I couldn't seem to figure it out. I'd like to practice doing this so that I can do the project portion of the exam this time around. Does anyone know where I can find the instructions online so I can figure out how to do this on my own time? ... View more

Hi guys,   I failed my first attempt at the SAS 9.4 Base Programming -- Performance-based exam today. The one major issue I had was accessing the files used for the exam. For the project part of the exam, we need to manipulate datasets in the files in the input folder. However, when I attempt to manipulate the datasets, the error message read that I was not authorized to modify the files. I spent more than an hour of my exam trying to figure this out. What am I not getting here? Are we supposed to know code to modify authorized files? Or is there some kind of password we use to be able to modify the files? I feel like there is something simple I am not getting here.   It sucks because I wasted a lot of time doing this instead of attempting to actually answer the questions. I want to do way better the next time around and want to figure this out!   Thank you all and have a nice day! ... View more
