I am running the following code in SAS EG:

Data sashelp.air;

proc sgplot data=sashelp.air;
    histogram AIR /;
    yaxis grid;
    run;

ERROR: User does not have appropriate authorization level for library SASHELP.

  • Hover over the connector symbol at the rignt upper corner of your E-Guide window and capture the pop-up ([Alt-PrintScreen]). Share that either with your SAS platform administrator or with us. – Dirk Horsten Feb 22 '22 at 10:20

That error is most likely because of this statement:

Data sashelp.air;

What that statement does (when it runs) is to tell SAS to overwrite the dataset sashelp.air with a new dataset, which has no other statements - so it would overwrite it with an empty dataset with no columns.

Fortunately, you don't have write permission to the sashelp library, so that fails.

Remove the line, and only run the proc sgplot, and it should work. If that still gives you an error, then talk to your SAS administrator.
