Statements

LIBNAME libref 'SAS-data-library';

on most operating environments, associates a libref with a SAS data library. Enclose the name of the SAS data library in single or double quotation marks.


SAS Data Set Reference

You can reference any SAS data set with a two-level name of the form libref.filename. By default, if you use a one-level name to reference a SAS data set, then SAS uses the libref USER if it is assigned. If USER is not assigned, then SAS uses the libref WORK.
