Instruction for using German Credit data in LRC 507

The reason we need this instruction is that a) the German
Credit data does not automatically show up in the pre-
existed libraries; b) in LRC 507 most data is stored on 
the network server and using the data across network in 
Enterprise Miner is very slow.

Following the instructions below, you will not encounter
any speed problem. You can similarly later on add more 
data files you need to the directory created.

1. Set up a sample directory locally
   e.g. "d:\My SAS Files\V8\EM Projects\sample"
   Usually when you run SAS and Enterprise Miner, the 
   directory "d:\My SAS Files\V8\EM Projects\" will be
   automatically set up.

2. Copy the German Credit data from server drive N:
   "N:\NTApps\sas\Addon\dmine3\sample\dmagecr.*"

3. Run SAS s/w

4. Run Enterprise Miner 
   a) click "Solutions" menu in SAS environment
   b) click "Analysis" entry
   c) click "Enterprise Miner" entry

5. Click "explorer window", then the tool buttons will 
   change, select "new library" icon

6. Set the new library name to "sample" or whatever 
   you like and set the path to your local sample 
   directory

7. Start using the new library ...


AND, if you are using SAS8/EM4.0 on your own computer, just
omit the file-copying step and directly new a library with
the path set to the directory where your German Credit data
is.
