(Click here if you truely hate to type.) In this case you can make a library reference with a line of code like this: You can point and click to create a library but most people find it easy to just write a one line program to tell SAS where to find data.

While libraries can be complex things (like databases), as a novice, think of a library as a folder full of data. SAS calls a folder full of data a "library". SAS will not realize that the data is in that folder until you tell it to look.īecause SAS has been around since before the creation of Microsoft Windows and Mac OS, it has its own term for a "Folder" on a hard drive.
Put the SAS datasets for this book inside of that folder. Inside the Presenting folder make a folder called data and inside of that folder make a folder called sasData. To access the datasets that are used with this book, create a folder called Presenting (capitalization matters to SAS UE when you are choosing a file path) inside of the myfolders folder. When you installed SAS UE, you created a folder called myfolders inside of another folder called SASUniversityEdition. Read the How SAS Works web page which can be found here next. Here you will find SAS UE specific instructions. The SAS portion of this website provides you with the code for many tasks which are available in the GUI as well as tasks that are currently missing from the GUI (such as survival analysis). The goal of this introduction is to help make the transition from pointing and clicking to code as painless as possible. That said, most people eventually get tired of doing the same point and click tasks and they want to save themselves the time by modifying the code that the GUI produces. Happily the SAS UE GUI is easy to use and largely self explanatory. The point and click system, what a programmer would call a Graphical User Interface (GUI, pronounced gooey), lightens the memory load for novices and seeing code grow with every tweak of a checkbox or choice from a dropdown menu makes learning painless. It also allows you to write or modify code to automate tasks. SAS University Edition allows you to point and click your way through common data management and analysis tasks.
