Inaddition, if course files and SAS data sets have been uploaded to the SAS server, thenyou can access these SAS data sets as well. To access the SAS data sets:Start SAS OnDemand for Academics: Enterprise Guide and log on.Select File  Open  Data.Select Servers.Double click SAS Apps.Double click Libraries.Double click the appropriate library (such as MAPS, SASHELP, or the library thatyou have assigned using a LIBNAME statement).Double click the SAS data set that you want to use.Note: If you modify a SAS data set that exists on the SAS server and you want to savethat SAS data set, then you must download the data set to a local drive. If you do not,then your modifications are lost when you end your session.In addition, some of the SAS data sets that are available from the SAS server might betoo large to download locally unless you have modified them to make them smaller.

In12 Step 4. Review the Basics for Working with Data and ResultsChapter 2this case, it is recommended that you work with the original SAS data sets only whileconnected to the SAS server.Accessing Grayed-out SAS Libraries from the SAS ServerThe SAS server includes sample SAS data sets that you might choose to use. Some ofthe sample SAS libraries might appear to be grayed out, but they are still available foruse.Typically, grayed-out SAS libraries appear for users in Europe and were originallyintended for use with another SAS software application, such as SAS Enterprise Miner.Start SAS OnDemand for Academics: Enterprise Guide and log on.Select File  Open  Data.Select Servers.Double click SAS Apps.Double click Libraries.Right-click on the grayed-out SAS library that you would like to access and thenclick Assign.Double click the SAS data set that you want to use.Uploading Data Files to the SAS Server versus Opening SAS DataSetsIf you have access to a local SAS data set, then you can choose File  Open  Data andselect the appropriate SAS data set.

However, this is not the preferred method. Instead,it is best practice to upload the SAS data set to the SAS server. This improves datatransfer speed and ensures that the step is recorded as part of your project.Working with Data Files Other Than SAS Data SetsIf you want to work with data other than SAS data sets (such as comma delimited filesor text files), then you can import the files in to SAS OnDemand for Academics:Enterprise Guide. To import files that are not SAS data sets:Select File  Import Data.Select Local Computer.Find and select the data file that you want to use.Working with Compressed SAS Data SetsSAS does not recommend that you work with compressed SAS data sets when using SASOnDemand for Academics: Enterprise Guide.

If you have a compressed SAS data set,then you can use the COMPRESS=NO option to remove compression.Assigning LIBNAME and FILENAME StatementsThe SAS server is unable to recognize or access the local drives of your PC. Therefore, ifyour SAS program includes a LIBNAME or FILENAME statement that refers to a localpath (such as a location on your C: drive), then you receive processing errors.Instructors have the ability to store SAS data sets and other data files on the SASserver. If your instructor has taken advantage of this feature, then you receive either aSAS OnDemand for Academics: Enterprise GuideStep 4. Review the Basics for Working with Data and Results 13LIBNAME statement or a FILENAME statement from your instructor that you can useto access the appropriate data.Note: LIBNAME or FILENAME statements are case sensitive.

Copy them or enterthem in exactly as they are shown to avoid permissions errors.If you do have local SAS data sets that you want to use, then it is recommended that youupload them. You can then refer to the uploaded SAS data sets in your code or in yourprojects. In addition, if you modify the SAS data sets that you upload and you want touse them again, then you should download the SAS data sets from the SAS server priorto exiting SAS OnDemand for Academics.Accessing Data with LIBNAME or FILENAME StatementsOnce a SAS data set or a data file has been uploaded to the SAS server, users can accessthe data using the appropriate LIBNAME or a FILENAME statement. The LIBNAMEor FILENAME statement to use is provided to you during the course registrationprocess.

To access this information at any time:Log on to your SAS OnDemand for Academics Home Page.Start SAS OnDemand for Academics: Enterprise Guide.Create or open a SAS program.Assign the LIBNAME or FILENAME statement in your code in order to accessyour data. Remember LIBNAME and FILENAME statements are case sensitive.Working with INFILE StatementsAn INFILE statement identifies an external data file to read with an INPUT statement.If you plan to use an INFILE statement or are asked to use an INFILE statement toaccess data, then you must use a fully qualified path in your statement.For example, if country.dat exists in a course directory called/courses/u_0/i_123/c_105, then the INFILE statement to access this data filewould be:infile '/courses/u_0/i_123/c_105/country.dat';However, if you specified a path that is not fully qualified (such as the following), thenan error would be produced:infile 'country.dat';Students must use the INFILE statement (with the fully qualified path) that yourinstructor provides.Working with INFILE Statements and Microsoft Windows Data FilesIf you import or upload a raw data file (such as a text file or a comma-separated-valuefile) from a PC using the Microsoft Windows operating system, then the file mightcontain carriage-return characters.

These carriage-return characters cause errors whenyou attempt to read the file on the UNIX version of SAS used by SAS OnDemand forAcademics servers.For example, using the following INFILE statement could cause data processing or datadisplay errors:infile newemps dlm=',';These errors can be avoided by using the following INFILE statement:14 Step 4. Review the Basics for Working with Data and ResultsChapter 2infile newemps dlm=',' TERMSTR=CRLF;For more information about the TERMSTR option, search for TERMSTR in SAS 9.3Online Documentation at http://support.sas.com/documentation.Saving WorkSAS OnDemand for Academics: Enterprise Guide is unable to store your work on theSAS server (the SAS Cloud).
