Hey everyone, I am having trouble creating a permanent table for an activity in the Programming Course. More specifically: "Write a DATA step to read the pg1.np_species table and create a new table named fox. Note: If you are using SAS Studio, try creating fox as a permanent table in the EPG194/output folder" * if you are creating a permanent table, you must submit a LIBNAME statement and then reference out.fox;
* libname out "path-to-EPG194/output"; I am able to perform the steps and processes after this but for some reason I can't create a permanent table for this solution. It isn't required, but I want to know my mistake to better understand SAS. Below is my code. libname out.fox; libname out "/folders/myfolders/EPG194/output"; data fox; set pg1.np_species; where Category='Mammal' and upcase(Common_Names) like '%FOX%'; drop Category Record_Status Occurrence Nativeness; run; Thanks for the assistance.
