based on the log msg, the marco &path did not solved. please check whether your autofile run correctly.

could you please post your autofile?

[kardekardeepa]

Sorry Jennifer, But Whats the autofile here?

I just followed all the instructions in practice. Typed below code and run it.  

data work.country;

    length Country_Code $2 Country_Name $48;

    infile "&path/country.dat" dlm='!';

    input country_code $ country_Name $;

run;

proc print data=work.country;

run;

upper left side there is button next to sign out button where you can add code for autoexec. Put following code in autoexec

%let path=/folders/myfolders/ecourse; 

libname orion "&path";

Autoexec code is executed when SAS is opened.

Thanks Vikas , Jennifer - yup there was a problem with autoexec file , it was blank.

I can run the program and see the output.

Thnx,

Deepa.
