Sam, If you actually tried to run the code as listed above, it is not surprising that it didn't work. You wrote that the data was in D:/Data, but specified the libname reference as D:/SasData. You specified the path to SAS as "C/Progra, Files/SAS Institute/9_1/SAS". I can't believe that that is a valid path to SAS on any system. I you write back to the list with actual code, location of data and sas.exe, and operating system (presumably MS Windows, but what version?), someone should be able to help.
