Data Download & Project Setup

Before we start the training, we first need to set up the project.

Download the zip folder below:
clinical_project_-_part_1.zip
File Size: 461 kb
File Type: zip
Download File


The zip folder contains all of the files you need for Part 1 of this clinical project.


IMPORTANT

You must unzip the folder and save it in the "/SASUniversityEdition/myfolders" folder:

This step is crucial. 

Please ensure you have saved the entire folder under the "/SASUniversityEdition/myfolders" folder.

We will teach you how to import these files in later sections.

​However, the folder has to be in the correct location.

Now, let's do a quick test to see if you have saved the folder in the correct location.
 
​Run the code below in your SAS Studio (without changing any part of the code):​
PROC IMPORT DATAFILE= "/folders/myfolders/Clinical Project - Part 1/data/data_excel/CDM/death.xlsx"
            DBMS=XLSX OUT= death  REPLACE;
     GETNAMES=YES;
RUN;

If your folder is saved in the right location, you will have created the DEATH data set in the WORK library:

Important Note

If you see the following error message, it indicates that SAS cannot access the files:

ERROR: Physical file does not exist

Please check the following, if you see the above error message:
  1. The folder has been saved exactly in '/SASUniversityEdition/myfolders'.
  2. The folder name is spelled exactly as 'SASUniversityEdition' and 'myfolders'.
  3. You have enabled the shared folder.

Please contact us at info@sascrunch.com if you still see the same error message.
