Key Concepts About Creating a Directory

In this task, you will be creating a directory to hold your data files, SAS code, documentation, and SAS data files. This structure outlined is recommended as it will be used throughout the tutorial. If you decide to use a different arrangement of folders, then you will need to change the path to the dataset in the sample programs.

You will need to include the path to the dataset you wish to use in every program. By creating a folder directly in the C drive, and thereby having a short file path to the dataset, you won't have a long file path to type or remember.
