Hi Mark, Thanks for your reply. In real exam, it was described that file is located at "C:/Cert" and within Cert folder, there was 4 folders: Input, Errors, Output, and Programs. Input data was in the "Input" folder. I had assigned the = libname input "C:/Cert/Input"; After using this libname reference in the set statement= set input.input28; but i was not getting data in output window. Also, I had checked the properties of "Input" folder and  size was 0 bytes. I saw the all input datasets name but after executing the proc sort with set statement, it was null at output tab. I belived that Virtual Lab was not loaded with data or any contents.  Is it any other concers? Great! Thanks ... View more

Hello SAS Expert/Technician I am writing again about SAS A00-231 Performance base Exam. I read the document “Accessing SAS and Setting up Files for this Practice Exam” where how to upload practice exam. I had uploaded the BaseCert folder and took the practice exam successfully. https://vle.sas.com/mod/resource/view.php?id=229404 Also, I reviewed the content “Using the SAS Virtual Lab”. Is this about real exam environment talking about? This describes as per below: In the Files and Folders panel on the left, expand S:\ > workshop > cert. The cert folder contains all the files you need for this exam. It has 4 subfolders: errors, input, output and programs. The output and programs folders will be used to save programs and results during the practice exam. Is these same rules apply for real exam? In real exam, SAS Studio launches in the lab (Virtual Lab). In the SAS A00-231 exam, input data located at C:/cert/Input. I had assigned the Libname input “C:/cert/Input”. I was not able to access data and spent hour. Later, I requested issue and received case number. What is correct guidance to access the data and bring the input data in to program with correct code to use in the real exam? Looking forward for correct reply. Thanks ... View more

Hello, I was in the A00-231 SAS Exam today. Likewise, I had spent the hour to access the data by assigning a libname and the path, however I could not go further. Finally, I had to tell issue to the proctor and proctor gave me case number and said that wait 4-5 day to reconcile the issue. Is there any documentation to follow access or assign the library? Looking forward the reply from SAS expert/technician. Thanks, ... View more
