Please note that SAS Enterprise Miner requires you to login so you must make sure that the id which you are using to access SAS Enterprise Miner has the appropriate permissions to read/write to the location where the data is located. SAS Enterprise Miner does not copy the entire data set in most situations but simply creates a view pointing to the data and the view is updated during processing.

Simply put this libname statement in the Project Start Code for SAS Enterprise Miner so that the data can be allocated as a Data Source in SAS Enterprise Miner. If SAS can read the data, then so can SAS Enterprise Miner using the same libname statement. As mentioned before, if you have the appropriate SAS/ACCESS product(s) licensed, you can simply define a libname statement in SAS Enterprise Miner to gain access to that data. file into SAS Enterprise is not a good approach as you found since the first thing SAS will do is to create a SAS data set. SAS Enterprise Miner relies on the underlying SAS system to read and write data.
