Task 1 of 2: Access SAS OnDemand for Academics

Sign in with your SAS profile email address and password (the same one you use to access this training). Then, register for a SAS OnDemand for Academics account. You can use this same link to sign in to SAS OnDemand for Academics after you register.

Task 2 of 2: Create your course files.

To complete the practices in this course, you must complete the steps below to set up the data sets and practice files for SAS Studio. These instructions assume that you have an active SAS OnDemand for Academics account.

Open this zip file and extract it to any location on your computer. The unzip process creates a folder named EPG1V2 that includes one SAS program: createdataPG1v2_oda.sas.
Sign in to your SAS OnDemand for Academics Dashboard and start SAS Studio.
At the top of the Server Files and Folders panel, click New and select Folder.
In the Name box, type EPG1V2 in uppercase exactly as shown. Click Save.
If necessary, expand Files(Home) and verify that the EPG1V2 folder was created.
Select the EPG1V2 folder and click Upload.
In the Upload Files window, click Choose Files. Browse to the EPG1V2 folder on your computer, select createdataPG1v2_oda.sas, and click Open. Click Upload. The program is added to the EPG1V2 folder on the server.
If necessary, expand the EPG1V2 folder, and then double-click createdataPG1v2_oda.sas to open the program in SAS Studio.
Click Run or press F3 to run the program. This program creates all the SAS files and data you need for this course. After the program runs, a list of SAS tables is displayed in the Results tab.
In the Server Files and Folders panel, you should have 5 subfolders in the EGP1V2 folder: activities, data, demos, output, and practices.

When you are asked to provide a file path to a data file, you can use ~/EPG1V2/data as a shortcut to your files. To see the full path, right-click the data folder and select Properties.

Note: The EPG1V2 folder is the location of your course files in SAS OnDemand for Academics. In activities, demos, and practices, the instructions specify the folder (activities, demos, or practices) to open and the file name. These files are available each time you sign in to SAS OnDemand for Academics: SAS Studio.
