1. SAS On Demand for Academics
Establish a SAS profile (user account).
“Enroll” in the course.
Access SAS Studio with any browser.

2. The First Step – If you do not have a SAS Profile
Copy and paste the URL into your browser

3. Second Step – “Enroll” in the course Copy and paste the url into your browser and go to the site. Accessing this site gives you permission to access my course data.

4. Access to Example and Homework Data
All data is located in subdirectories of
the following directory on the cloud:
 /courses/d0f434e5ba27fe300
We will supply the subdirectory names.

5. Example
To define the library orion that allows access to the data in the sql subdirectory:
libname orion "/courses/d0f434e5ba27fe300/sql";
proc contents data=orion._all_ nods;
run;

6. Put the following line of code into a “snippet” in SAS On Demand
Put the following line of code into a “snippet” in SAS On Demand. It will allow you to easily create libnames, filerefs, etc.
%let path=/courses/d0f434e5ba27fe300;

7. Use this macro variable to define libraries
E.g., to define a library called star, to access files in the sql
subdirectory you can use the following code:
libname star "&path/sql";
The double quotes, in this case, are required.
