programs that you need to run to create the SAS data sets that are used in the
problems in the book.

Accessing the Code and Data Files


1.

The sample code and data for Learning SAS by Example: A Programmer's Guide is available in a ZIP file
located here:
http://support.sas.com/publishing/bbu/zip/60864.zip

2.

Copy all the .sas files to a folder on your hard drive.

3.

Before you run any of the SAS programs (such as Create_Datasets.sas), you need to use the SAS Editor
(or any other editor) to search for the folder used in the book (c:\books\learning) and replace
c:\books\learning with the name of the folder where you copied these files and where you want to store your
permanent SAS programs. This step changes all the LIBNAME and INFILE statements in these programs.

4.

For example, if you copied all the files to a folder on your hard drive named c:\learn, and you want to run the
Create_Datasets.sas program, you would do the following:

a. Start a SAS session.


b. Open the Create_Datasets.sas file.
c. From the menu, select Edit->Replace.
d. In the Find box, type c:\books\learning.
e. In the Replace box, type c:\learn.
f. Select Replace All.
g. Save the edited program.
h. Submit the edited program.
