Problem Note 60694: A "cannot locate data set" warning occurs when you follow the example under "Assessing Market Risk" in the SAS® Risk Dimensions 6.7 user guide
 |  |  |  |
If you run the example shown in the "Assessing Market Risk" section of the SAS Risk Dimensions 6.7 user's guide, you might see a warning followed by errors, after which the process ultimately fails. Here are some examples of the warning and errors:
WARNING: The application cannot locate the data set "RDExamp.instdata" for portfolio data
source "Instruments". You must make this file available before reading the portfolio.
source "Instruments". You must make this file available before reading the portfolio.
ERROR: The application cannot find DATASET "RDEXAMP.instdata".
ERROR: The application could not locate file "RDEXAMP.instdata" for portfolio data source
"Instruments" while reading portfolio input list "InstDataSource".
ERROR: Errors occurred while the application was reading the portfolio data sources during the
creation of portfolio file "Portfolio".
ERROR: The application could not locate file "RDEXAMP.instdata" for portfolio data source
"Instruments" while reading portfolio input list "InstDataSource".
ERROR: Errors occurred while the application was reading the portfolio data sources during the
creation of portfolio file "Portfolio".
This problem occurs because a DATA step is missing from the example instructions that create the instdata data set. Without that DATA step (shown below), the code generates the warning and errors.
Workaround
To work around this issue, simply add the following DATA step to step 1 in the section "Register Your Portfolio Data."
data RDExamp.instdata;
input insttype $12. instid $8. holding;
datalines;
TechCompany instid1 1000000
BankCompany instid2 1000000
;
input insttype $12. instid $8. holding;
datalines;
TechCompany instid1 1000000
BankCompany instid2 1000000
