title: SAS Studio: Using data in "myfolders"
body: <p>everyone.</p>
  
  <p>I have established a shared folder with VM Virtualbox and uploaded a .sas7bdat data file. When I open SAS Studio to use the university edition, I can see this data file in "myfolders." However, when I try to print the contents or do anything with this data file, I constantly get errors. </p>
  
  <p>Below is my current code to move this data file into my work library.</p>
  
  <pre><code>PROC IMPORT DATAFILE="/folders/myfolders/Lawrence.sas7bdat"
  OUT=WORK.lawrence;
  run;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then, I get this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>1          OPTIONS NONOTES NOSTIMER NOSOURCE NOSYNTAXCHECK;
  72         
  73         *data Lawrence;
  74         *run;
  75         
  76         PROC IMPORT DATAFILE="/folders/myfolders/Lawrence.sas7bdat"
  77         OUT=WORK.lawrence;
  ERROR: Unable to determine datasource type.  Please use the DBMS= option.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What is the "option" to use for a .sas7bdat data file?</p>
  
  <p>I just want to manipulate this data file. Thank you!</p>
