Tips on running SAS on the Linux network Set your preferences as follows, using Tools / Options / Preferences Under Editing tab Automatically store selection -- should NOT be depressed Insert -- should be pressed Under Results tab Create listing -- should be pressed if you want the text style output If you are running SAS on the Linux network, then you can read datasets from the course web page directly from the directory where they are stored. The path is: /mnt/nfs/netapp1/homepage/kcowles/Datasets For example, in the 2011 final exam, you could include: data accounts; infile '/mnt/nfs/netapp1/homepage/kcowles/Datasets/accounts.dat' dlm = ',' ; Remember that SAS will be run on a different computer from the one you are logged into (unless you're logged into l-lnx206). Thus, SAS won't respect the subdirectory that you run it from and will look for input files and write output files in your home directory. To deal with this: Include the full path names of data files in your infile statements. Be ready to copy .lst and .log files into the subdirectory where you want them.
