IU Access

There are many vendor-supplied sample files on the Unix/Linux machines at IU.

• On Libra these files are in the directory /statapps/sas/samples.
• On Quarry they are in /N/soft/linux-rhel4-x86_64/SAS-9.1.3/samples.

In each of these directories are subdirectories such as base, iml, etc. You should feel free to view or copy files in these subdirectories. For example if you are logged on to Quarry to enter the directory with the samples type

cd /N/soft/linux-rhel4-x86_64/SAS-9.1.3/samples

To then enter the directory base

cd base

To view the file chart.sas

more chart.sas

To copy it into you home directory

cp chart.sas $YOURDIRECTORY

after replacing $YOURDIRECTORYcode with the actual name of your directory.
