Accessing Your Practice Data

Requirements

To complete examples in this book, you must have access to SAS Studio, SAS Enterprise Guide, or the SAS windowing environment.

Practice Data ZIP File

The ZIP file includes SAS data sets, Microsoft Excel workbooks (.xlsx), CSV files (.csv), and TXT files (.txt) that are used in examples in this book. To access these files and create your practice data, follow the instructions below.

Instructions

  1. Navigate to support.sas.com/content/dam/SAS/support/en/books/data/base-guide-practice-data.zip, download and save the practice data ZIP file.
  2. Unzip the file and save it to a location that is accessible to SAS.
  3. Open the cre8data.sas program in the SAS environment of your choice.
    • SAS Studio: In the Navigation pane, expand Files and Folders and then navigate to the Cert folder within the practice-data folder.
    • SAS Enterprise Guide: In the Servers list, expand Servers>Local>Files, and then navigate to the Cert folder in the practice-data folder.
    • SAS windowing environment: Click File>Open Program, and then navigate to the Cert folder in the practice-data folder.
  4. In the Path macro variable, replace /folders/myfolders with the path to the Cert folder and run the program. 
    %let path=/folders/myfolders/cert;
    Important: The location that you specify for the Path macro variable and the location of your downloaded SAS programs should be the same location. Otherwise, the cre8data.sas program cannot create the practice data.
Your practice data is now created and ready for you to use.
Tip
When you end your SAS session, the Path macro variable in the cre8data.sas program is reset. To avoid having to rerun cre8data.sas every time, run the libname.sas program from the Cert folder to restore the libraries.
