I can view the contents of other sas7bdat files  without creating a library.  I just double-click the file name and the table appears in the programming window.  Something is different with these two files.  Even when I define a library (using copy-and-paste to avoid typos), I still cannot access these two files.   I am truly perplexed about this.  I can create the files, download them to my PC and then upload them to the SAS server, and everything works fine.  When I download the same files from Canvas and upload them to SAS, the error occurs.   Here is my code: libname myfiles '/home/keatingk/STAT 725/2019 Fall Homework'; proc contents data=myfiles.MINUTE1; run; data temp1; set myfiles.MINUTE1; run; Here are the messages in the log file: 71 libname myfiles '/home/keatingk/STAT 725/2019 Fall Homework'; NOTE: Libref MYFILES was successfully assigned as follows: Engine: V9 Physical Name: /home/keatingk/STAT 725/2019 Fall Homework 72 73 proc contents data=myfiles.MINUTE1; run; ERROR: File MYFILES.MINUTE1.DATA does not exist.
